Testing Sign-In System Anne Arundel Community College No Need to Take the Midnight Train to Georgia: Learn How to Manage your Testing Center’s Usage Data

Testing centers of today have grown exponentially over the last few years. At Anne Arundel Community College alone, with this growth our data collection needs have also grown. No longer do our needs require us to know just how many students our testing center has served, but in addition we have many new requirements. Times for student visits Services used by students Instructions for test administration Queries and reports on center usage Managing Testing Data

Collecting the Data In 2001 Anne Arundel Community College began work to create a solution for it’s Testing Center’s data collection needs. Then in 2004 we started offering our software to other institutions. Our software is simply called TSiS - Testing Sign-In System.

Upon arrival, a student will select the type of testing needed. The student will now sign-in. Next, the proctor will retrieve the student information, and then enter all testing information. At the completion of the student’s exam, the proctor will log the student out. How Does TSiS Work
