This option is useful for preparing a group of students ahead of time, usually from different classes of students.
Click Find Students to Test.
Choose criteria and click Search. (you can just enter the student's last name; not all information is required to search)
Review the search results and click Add Students.
Repeat the search as needed. Keep the student count below 100; too many students can slow the sign-in. If a student is missing, try using <No School Assigned> in the criteria. If you need to add a student, contact a school leader for instructions.
Select students and make needed assignments (each student can have a different assignment).
Click Assign Test and select a test from the list. (See below > Which Test Do I Assign? if unsure)
Click Assign Accommodations if a student requires accommodations, including Text-to-Speech. For more information, see Accommodations.
**Accommodations must be entered by teachers before testing begins!**
If you plan to use this testing session at a later time, click Save Session. Use a name that’s unique and easy to type. Avoid spaces, special characters, and capital letters. Examples: jbmath72 (your initials +subject +grade +period) or 21eagle918 (room +mascot +month +year)
If you need to test immediately, click Test Now. Otherwise, you can save and exit the session.

On your Proctor console, you should now see the Test Students page. If not, click Test Now.

Ask students to learn about MAP Growth with the following choices on their log-in page:
Try the Practice Test (about 5 non-scored, sample questions). Username and Password are grow.
Student Resources (explanatory videos about the test, tools, and test engagement).
Or, read the Student Directions Script.
Students will click on the NWEA app.
Students will completely sign out of their Chromebooks.
On the sign-in screen, students will click on the Apps button (next to Shutdown icon).

As needed, check whether students have chosen correctly.

To control a student’s test, select the student and choose from the Select Action menu:
DO NOT SELECT TERMINATE WITHOUT CONTACTING YOUR CAMPUS TESTING COORDINATOR OR CAMPUS PRINCIPAL FIRST!
Terminating a test will delete the test permanently, and students will lose any progress if they have already begun testing.
Before you can begin another testing session, you must end the first session.
You can run only one testing session at a time.
Although it's possible to leave your testing session running until more students arrive, you cannot keep it running overnight.
Every night, all sessions are closed automatically, and any tests left open become suspended.
To end testing for all students:
On the Proctor console, click End Testing Session. If students are still testing, a prompt shows that those tests will become suspended. Click Yes to continue.
At the next prompt, choose either:
Save and Exit: Choose if the same group of students will be tested together later.
Delete Session: Choose if different groups will be formed for further testing. (Does not affect test results; students can resume incomplete tests in the same or another testing session.)
To end one test and continue another:
Select the student, and then select Test Again.
Select the student and click Assign Test(s) to assign a new test (and also Assign Accommodations if it differs for the new test).
Ask the student to sign in again (same session name and password).
