Prepare Macs for Screen Reader Users
Before signing in, deselect Show Caption Panel in the Accessibility settings for VoiceOver use during a TestNav test:
- Go to System Preferences > Accessibility.
- Select VoiceOver > Open VoiceOver Utility.
- Select Visuals > Panels and Menus, and then deselect Show Caption Panel.
| If Show Caption Panel is selected, the Caption Panel appears during a secure test. This triggers an error and TestNav exits the student from the test. |
Student Response File Setup
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).
Run App Check
It is essential to run the App Check on each student device before testing. For details, see App Check.
