Google Chrome version 39 is now supported for Mac version OSX 10.6 and higher. This alternative browser option can run TestNav without requiring a configuration change to operate in unsafe mode. Use SystemCheck tool to confirm device readiness. SystemCheck will confirm whether your operating system, browser, Java and Flash versions meet the minimum system requirements. Launch the verification test using information in SystemCheck to confirm your connection and ability to launch TestNav prior to live student testing. Disable Apple Software Update function to avoid automatic Safari notifications that could cause TestNav to exit prematurely.
