• All Test Administrators will need to approve students to access the test once they log in via the Student Test Interface.

• Test Administrators should be very careful to only approve students that are logging in at the beginning of a session or need back in because of a break.

• Accidentally approving a student who has completed session 1, will provide them with access to the 2nd session

New Feature - Session Exit ApprovalNew Feature - Session Exit Approval

• If students requests to move on to Session 2, TAs will approve the Session Exit request for students who are ready to continue. If the student is not supposed to move on (most likely), the TA will DENY the student’s Session Exit request. This new functionality allows the student to immediately sign back in to Session 1 without a test segment re-open request. If a student is denied permission to exit Session 1, they will be logged out and can sign back into Session 1 on the same day. This is reflected in a script addition that should be provided from your School Testing Coordinator.
