Technical Bulletin - System Requirement Policy Reminder

Published: March ??April 7, 2023

What is happening?

Pearson recommends that customers review its established TestNav System Requirement Policy to anticipate upcoming support changes for the 20222023-2023 2024 school year. The Policy aligns policy aligns TestNav system requirements with manufacturerwith manufacturer-supported  operating operating systems (OSs) and devices. Pearson also updates browser support for practice tests depending on manufacturer support.

This best practice ensures that all district personnel and students experience efficient and reliable testing sessions.

Manufacturer development cycles vary and release details are often vague until close to release dates. As a result, Pearson’s policy requires referencing manufacturer policies. Annually, Pearson will base support for OSs and devices on manufacturer support as support as of each July 15.

What does this mean?

Technology personnel should evaluate manufacturer support as of July 15 to determine technology planning for each upcoming school year.

For example, based on the information available at this time and dependent on Pearson testing, districts can estimate support for the 20222023-23 24 school year to be the following:
