What is happening?
Pearson recommends that customers review its established TestNav System Requirement Policy to anticipate upcoming support changes for the 2025-2026 school year. The policy aligns TestNav system requirements with manufacturer-supported operating systems (OSs) and devices.

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 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.
