For information, see TestNav - Android App and Secure Testing

After you download TestNav, complete the setup using the sections below.

During BOTH the infrastructure trial and the actual test, note which specific Android 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

See instructions for managed or unmanaged devices in the sections below.

Depending on your OS version, you will see two prompts either when you install or when you start TestNav for the first time. One prompt requests file access; the other requests microphone access. You must click or tap Allow on both prompts to proceed with testing in kiosk mode. You can see a screenshot for each below.
