UPLOAD PREREGISTRATION

VOUCHERS• A Site Manager or Proctor can generate test vouchers to assign a student to a Branching

Profile in advance of their test session. • The test voucher includes a voucher number, which allows the student to log in and

initiate his/her session. • Test workstations do not need to be set up in advance.• A Site Manager or Proctor is still required to authorize the test session before the student

can proceed to the test. • The test voucher, however, will eliminate test session “time-outs” when tests are

conducted with large groups. • It will also streamline the initial test configuration process for both administrators and

students.• From Voucher Generation, you can add students who have been preregistered, or create

vouchers for students who have tested previously and have an existing student profile on the platform.
