TestNav App Updates

  • If you downloaded TestNav from the TestNav Download page, program files for minor updates save in {user_home}\AppData\Local\Pearson

When a student responds to a test question, TestNav sends the response to the Pearson server. If the network experiences a connectivity issue, or the student encounters an error, TestNav saves the response to a saved response file (SRF). For configuration details, see: Set Up and Find Saved Response Files (SRF).

Allow Chromium to Access Private Networks

The first time you launch TestNav after installing, a dialogue may appear asking to allow Chromium to access private networks. If this dialogue appears, please click "Allow," as the Chromium process is what TestNav runs on. 

Run App Check 

It is essential to run the App Check on each student device before testing. For details, see App Check.
