7. Manage Test Sessions To view or edit an existing session, click on the session name. To create a new session, click New Session. To delete a session, place a check mark next to the session name and then click Delete. To view details about currently scheduled test sessions, click Currently Scheduled Sessions. To download the session list as a CSV file, click Session List Download. 7 Most activities associated with computer-based test sessions will still be performed on the Manage Test Sessions screen.

8. Create Test Sessions 8 Click the New Session button. Enter a session name and select a school. Enter the remaining session details. Required fields are designated with a red arrow. Select “Main” from the Form Group Type drop-down menu unless you are creating a session for accommodations. Provide a Scheduled Start Date; this is for planning purposes only, as sessions will only start once they have been started by the School Assessment Coordinator. Before students can take a computer-based test, test sessions must be created.

9. Create Test Sessions - Continued A proctor caching computer should be selected from the Proctor Caching Computer drop-down menu. The TestNav Configurations will need to be set up before the session is created. This process will be explained further during the Technical Training. You may add students now, or you can add students later. Click the Save button after completing all session details.

10. Session Details 10 Session Details Actions: start and stop a test session print Student Authorization Tickets and/or seal codes proctor cache test content print a Session Roster update TestNav configurations monitor individual student’s tests resume a student’s test mark a test complete add/remove/move students The Session Details screen allows you to manage the details of each test session.

11. Proctor Caching Test Content 11 Proctor caching is completed at the session level, on the Session Details screen – The Proctor Caching button will be disabled and you will not be able to cache the test content for the test session if you do not have access to proctor caching or if you are not within the proctor caching window dates. Proctor caching is available up to one week before an administration – Districts will receive notification when it is available Proctor caching refers to downloading encrypted test content from the Pearson testing server to a secure local computer prior to starting a test session.

12. Proctor Caching Test Content - Continued Proctor caching can also be completed at the School Level using the Manage Test Sessions Screen. This allows all test forms for an administration to be cached at one time.

13. Student Authorization Tickets 13 Student authorizations contain: – the URL to access the browser-based TestNav tests – a unique Username – the Password needed to log in Student authorization tickets are needed for students to sign into the test.

14. Authorizations - Seal Codes 14 There will be one set of seal codes assigned to each test session (FCAT 2.0 Reading Retake only). Before students in a test session can go to the next sealed section of a computer-based test, they must enter the appropriate four-digit seal code. Seal codes for a specific test session are listed on the seal codes document. Seal codes are the electronic equivalents of the adhesive tabs that are used to seal sections of paper test booklets.

15. Starting Test Sessions 15 Scheduling a date and time for a new test session is intended primarily for planning purposes. A test session will not start until you click the Start button on the Session Details screen, regardless of the scheduled start date and time. NOTE: If you do not have access to start a test session, the Start button will be disabled and you will not be able to start the test session. A test session must be started before students can begin testing.

16. Monitoring Test Sessions 16 The table below gives an explanation of the possible statuses for students as they test. StatusMeaning ReadyThe student has not yet started the test. ActiveThe student has logged in and started the test. ExitedThe student has exited TestNav but has not submitted test responses, e.g. took a break. (Student must be resumed by a test administrator to continue testing.) ResumedThe student has been authorized by a test administrator to resume the test. Resumed- Upload The student has been authorized to resume the test, and any responses saved locally can be uploaded when the student is ready to continue testing. CompletedThe test has been submitted by the student through TestNav and the data has been processed. Marked Complete The student has exited TestNav and will not resume the same test, e.g. left due to illness.

17. Resuming a Student’s Test 17 Select the checkbox for the student on the Session Details screen. Click the Resume Test button. – The student’s status will change to “Resumed” (if the student was in “Exited” status) or “Resumed-Upload” (if the student was in “Active” status). – The student’s test will be resumed from the point at which it was exited or interrupted. Any saved test responses that the student entered will be uploaded when the connection to the Pearson testing server is reestablished. Have the student log in using their original authorization ticket. A test administrator must resume an Exited student’s test in order for the student to complete testing.

18. View Test Progress 18 When available, select the student’s View Progress link to review test progress. The Status column in the Session Details allows administrators to view test progress. StatusMeaning Visited/No Response Required Student has visited the item but no response is required. Visited/AnsweredStudent has visited the item and entered a response.

20. Stopping Test Sessions 20 After all students have completed the test and submitted their responses, students in Ready status have been removed, and students in other statues have been marked “complete,” you should stop the session. Click the Stop button. NOTE: A session does not stop until you click the Stop button. The system will NOT automatically start or stop a session.
