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

  1. Download TestNav for iPad. 
  • Do not connect iPads to computers during testing.
  • Note that iPadOS does not support Co:Writer and Read&Write extensions.

Find and Set Up Response File Backups

TestNav has a default primary SRF save location for all computers and devices. For detailed information on saved response files (SRFs) and log files, see Understand SRFs and Log Files.

SFTP configuration is not supported by all assessment management systems. Consult your assessment management system user guide to determine whether the SFTP option is available.

Prior to testing, complete the following steps:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the default primary save location.

  2. Configure the secondary save location through your assessment management system. 
    The same secondary save location applies to all computers and devices. You only need to set this configuration one time.  

  3. Communicate SRF and log file locations/procedures to proctors (see Primary Save Location below).

  4. Note which student tests on which device during infrastructure trials and on test days.

Primary Save Location

On iPads, the SRF default primary save location is not customizable. 

You can find SRF and log files two ways on iPads - using Safari or a USB cable.
Safari
  1. Open Safari and enter the url: testnav://admin. 
    Note that the first time you access this, a dialog asks if you want to open in TestNav. Tap Open to open TestNav.
  2. Click View Logs or View Student Responses.
  3. From this screen, you can view and email SRF and log files.
  4. Click the Home button when finished.
USB
  1. Connect the iPad to the computer using a USB cable.
  2. Start iTunes, version 9.1 or later.
  3. Click iPad from the listed devices in the iTunes window.
  4. Click the Apps tab and then scroll down to the bottom of the page. 
  5. View the list of apps currently installed on the iPad under File Sharing.
  6. Select the TestNav App. A list of TestNav log files displays under TestNav Documents.
  7. Select and open the SRF or log file you want to view.
