Programs can use the TestNav online testing platform in three forms—in a browser (practice or non-secure tests only), through a desktop app, or through a mobile app.
The overall platform takes two major TestNav upgrades a year—in winter and in summer. Pearson coordinates a timeline for pushing an upgraded TestNav version with each program, depending on testing sessions. At the coordinated time, the upgrade pushes to your program without any action required. If a student did not sign out of a device, the next student to use the device may need to sign in again to begin testing with the latest version.
Pearson designed TestNav to function and update with minimal effort from our users. TestNav desktop and mobile apps release only once a year, with all winter and summer overall platform upgrades included.
- The mobile app releases also typically do not require any action.
- Desktop apps require reinstallation.
