During BOTH the infrastructure trial and the actual test, note Note which specific device each student uses during each test. The TestNav app saves SRFs to only one designated place on the testing device. If an error occurs, you can locate files only on that specific device.

Install TestNav

Pearson supports only managed Chromebooks for secure testing. Both before you install TestNav AND prior to each testing session, you should check each device to ensure it is in managed status.

titleContent filters and TestNav...

If your content filters are activated when a student signs in to the Chrome device, contact Pearson Support for additional URLs to add to your kiosk settings for URL blocking. TestNav does not require that the student sign in to the Chrome device. As a result, these content filters do not filter as intended during a TestNav test.

titleNote on accessibility tools/accommodations...

Students with accommodations or accessibility features enabled through their PNP or test form access those features within TestNav. ChromeOS has native accessibility features that might appear within a kiosk floating accessibility menu during testing. Technology personnel can disable this menu before testing to avoid it interfering with the student’s test.
