Pearson designed TestNav to function and update with minimal effort from our users. TestNav desktop and mobile apps release once a year.
Only two scenarios may call for action from our users.
Mobile app releases do not require any action, unless your program turns off the auto-update feature.
If your program disables auto-update, you must re-download the TestNav app from the appropriate app store for each of the following OSs:
Android
Chrome
Windows (only from the Windows Store)
Desktop apps require reinstallation. You must download the upgraded TestNav desktop app from download.testnav.com for the following OSs:
Linux
| While you can download the TestNav desktop app for Windows from download.testnav.com, Pearson recommends using the TestNav mobile app from the Windows Store (see above) for ease of maintenance. |
The information in this section requires no action and is provided for clarity of the TestNav platform and its developement cucle. The overall TestNav platform takes two major upgrades a year—in winter and in summer. Pearson coordinates a timeline for pushing an upgraded TestNav version with each program, depending on testing sessions. At the coordinated time, the upgrade pushes to your program without any action required.
Throughout the year, Pearson also pushes minor patch updates to TestNav as needed. These minor updates do not require any action from your program.
Programs can use the TestNav online testing platform in three forms—in a browser (practice or non-secure tests only), through a desktop app, or through a mobile app.
