CAASPP FAQ
Can teachers run 2 separate test sessions at once, for students from different grade levels, classes, or taking different tests?
No, but all of those options can take place in one test session. When teachers login to the TA Interface, they'll start a session, write the session ID on the board. Students who sign in & enter that ID# will then start showing up in the list, waiting for the teacher to approve them. So, students from multiple classes can test together without issue. Students are attached to schools not to teachers, this is different than NWEA. If a make-up student needs to finish another test, the teacher can check that test in the TA interface (ex. G5 Math CAT) and the student can use same session ID that is on the board. The system will recognize where the student stopped and continue from there.
