These tests are intended for the use of those who are using the Learn to Read Chaucer Page (or anyone else who may find them useful). The tests for The Shipman's and Prioress's Tales concentrate on basic vocabulary. The rest are more or less randomly generated tests of the lines with page glosses in *The Riverside Chaucer* or *The Canterbury Tales Complete*. and they are therefore somewhat more difficult. See [How to grade ](/how-grade-your-self-test)the self-tests. The first few tales are provided with tests (really checklists) on the Explanatory Notes.

FRAGMENT III

(From this point onward, only one test is provided for each tale (except for the Shipman's and Prioress's Tales; the assumption is that students' command of the language will be such that a single quiz is sufficient for diagnosis of their progress.)

[Check Notes to Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale](/explanatory-notes-wife-baths-prologue-and-tale-check-list)  
  
(No further quizzes on the explanatory notes are provided; the assumption is that the reader who is this far into the tales has acquired the habit of using the glosses and notes and therefore no further tests are needed.)
