MCAs Tips and Tricks
*** When in doubt, give the student a new Chromebook:)
Logging Into TestNav on the Chromebook (1).pdf💻 Have students FULLY shut down their computer. They need to hold the power button until they get the ability to power it off. This allows any updates to occur.
*** Just doing this has solved a TON of problems and glitches.
💻 If they log in and get a screen that either does not allow them to choose Massachusetts or bring them right to the test for another state...
Have them click on the button that looks like a person in the top right hand corner.
Click on "Choose a Different User". This should bring them to the menu that allows them to pick their state.
💻 If none of this works at the time of testing, the student will need to be given a new Chromebook. Speak to your test administrator about how those will be available.
💻 If the student complains about the incorrect letters being displayed when typing, restart the chromebook, click on the wifi icon bottom right and change the keyboard from CO to US.
