Pearson designed TestNav apps to update with minimal effort from our users. TestNav apps are released once a year in June.
After the updated version is released, the app automatically updates the next time it is launched on the following operating systems (OSs):
Chrome
- iPadOS
Windows (if downloaded from the Windows Store)
| UI Text Box | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
| If your program disables auto-update by device management policy or other local constraints, you must re-download the TestNav app from the appropriate app store. |
You must manually download and install the updated TestNav
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.
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.
