TestNav Installable App Software RequirementsClick the link in the Download app column to install TestNav on the supported operating system. Then, click the applicable link in the Setup instructions column to set up the app on each device. When using iPads, Chromebooks, or Androids, for testing, make note of which student uses each device. In the event that the student encounters a problem during testing, files necessary to resume each student's test session exist on only that specific device. In September 2015, Pearson plans to release TestNav Desktop, an installable app for Windows, Mac, and Linux. |
