If you need a hardcopy or offline version of a practice set, Pear Practice gives you a few workable paths. The product does not have a built-in print or PDF export button, so each option involves a workaround. This article explains what is available, what each approach produces, and where the limits are. The most direct option is to open the practice set preview and use your browser’s print function. This sends a static snapshot of the visible screen to your printer.
  1. Sign in to Pear Practice at app.pearpractice.com.
  2. Click My Library.
  3. Under Practice Sets, click the name of the set you want to print.
  4. Click Preview to open the student-facing view.
  5. Navigate to the question or screen you want to print.
  6. Press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (Mac) to open the print dialog.
  7. Adjust your print settings, then click Print.
Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each question you want to print. The browser prints one screen at a time.
Browser print captures what is visible on screen. It does not export the full practice set as a single document. If your practice set has 20 questions, you will need to print each question individually.

​
Use the Preview Mode to Review Questions

Before building a manual worksheet, use Preview Mode to step through every question in the set. This gives you an accurate look at question text, answer choices, and question types. Use what you see to decide what to include on a hardcopy.
  1. Click My Library.
  2. Under Practice Sets, click the name of the set.
  3. Click Preview.
  4. Use the on-screen controls to move through each question.
Preview Mode shows questions as students see them. Use this view to note question wording, answer options, and any images or diagrams that need to appear on the worksheet.

​
Create a Printable Version Manually

If you need a clean, formatted hardcopy, the most reliable approach is to recreate the questions in a word processor or document tool.
  1. Open the practice set in Preview Mode (see above).
  2. Open a blank document in Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or a similar tool.
  3. For each question, copy the question text and answer choices into your document.
  4. For diagram or drawing questions, take a screenshot and paste the image into your document.
  5. Format the document with numbered questions and an answer line or answer choice list.
  6. Print or share the finished document.
The finished document works for any print or offline scenario. Once it is ready, you can distribute it as a physical handout or share it digitally through your LMS or email.

What Doesn’t Print

Some Pear Practice question types and features do not translate to a printed format.
  • Drawing questions: Students draw directly on screen. A printed version can include the image prompt, but there is no way to replicate the drawing canvas on paper.
  • Interactive and drag-and-drop questions: These require on-screen interaction and cannot be printed as-is. Include a simplified written version on the worksheet instead.
  • Gamification elements: Tickets, the Season Map, Big Board, and badge progress are part of the live digital experience and do not appear in preview or print.
  • Automated feedback: The real-time feedback students receive after each answer is not available in a printed format.

Alternatives for Students Without Devices

If a student needs to complete a practice set without their own device, consider these options before building a worksheet.
  • Shared device: Assign the student to a shared classroom device during practice time. The student signs in with their credentials and completes the set as normal.
  • Homework link: Send the student the assignment link to complete at home. Pear Practice runs in a browser on Chromebook, Mac, Windows, and iPad. For supported browsers, see the Pear Practice Technical Guidelines.
  • Substitute coverage: If the session is running under a substitute teacher, the substitute can assign a Quick Play session for the class to complete together on a shared display.
  • Alternative tool: If a student consistently lacks device access, consider recreating key questions in a printable format using a separate worksheet tool. The preview approach above makes this faster.
Use browser print for a quick, one-question-at-a-time output. Build a manual worksheet when you need a clean, complete document. If device access is the root issue, a shared device or homework link resolves it without any printing at all.
