Creating Test Sessions - can create at any time prior to session

• Grade

• Test Group and Level will have predetermined fill-in

• Battery/Subtest: You do not have to set up session for each subtest. You will need one session code for "Getting Started" and one session to start the regular test. You will not need to create another session until the next time they come to lab. Select "Continue All" on the proctor computer for "approved students" to move students on to next subsection. AGAIN - You do not need to create a new session code for each subtest, only create a new session the next time the students come to the lab. The computer will roll from one test to the other as long as the student continues sitting.

• Create test sessions for each grade level being administered. See Session ID Code.

• You can set up proctor led or self paced sessions.

• Important: Use the following naming convention when setting up test sessions. This is a shared platform, so it helps me identify sessions when asked for technical assistance.

  • District name/Teacher/ order of testing session/Name of session

  • Ex. Hawley Vinson 1 Getting Started (recommended to do this session first)

  • Hawley Vinson 2 Verbal

• Test sessions expire at midnight
