When a student responds to a test question, TestNav saves the response in a saved response file (SRF) and sends response bundles to the Pearson server. After the responses successfully save to the Pearson server, TestNav deletes the SRF.

TestNav also writes to a log file during the testing session. These files help Pearson troubleshoot issues, if they occur.

By default, TestNav automatically creates a Pearson folder in the user's home directory (the user account or login typically determines the directory name). The SRF saves in a SRF folder, and log files save in a Logs folder. 

Warning

For Windows and Mac OS X, you must configure student accounts to have complete read, write, and delete access in all save locations.  Pearson strongly recommends that you configure a shared network folder that can be accessed from all testing computers as a secondary save location to ensure that you do not lose responses, even if a student cannot continue to test on the same computer. Verify you can access the location from multiple testing computers.

Secondary Save File Location
 
You can place backup files in a directory on the network file server or on the student's testing computer.

The following table outlines the pros and cons of each option; however, you should use both location options - one for the primary save location and the other for the secondary save location.
