Before Testing

32

Organizing Test Sessions

• Three ways of organizing test sessions1. By Test Group – only includes students in a particular group

(e.g., class, testing room) who will be testing togetherAdvantage: PearsonAccess can be used to manage the testing groups and session rosters will include only one group of students testing together. Can also be used to distinguish between students taking regular computer-based form (Main) and the accommodated forms.Disadvantage: will require setup and management of more sessions

2. By Test Day – includes all students in a school to be tested in a subject on a particular dayAdvantage: greater security because a session can be started and stopped on the same dayDisadvantage: requires coordination of testing groups at the school

33

CBT Manual 150

Organizing Test Sessions

3. By Test Administration – includes all students scheduled to be tested in a subject during the entire test administrationAdvantage: limits setup and management to one session and additional make-up sessions do not need to be createdDisadvantage: test sessions are open and active during the entire testing window, which may present a security concern; greater coordination of testing groups at schools; and may be cumbersome to locate and manage specific students

Proctor Caching

• Instructions for installing the Proctor Caching software are provided in the 2013–2014 Technology Coordinator Guide.

• Computers used for Proctor Caching do not need to be server-class machines but should meet the system requirements.

– Proctor Caching can run on either a Windows or Mac operating system, and each can support both Windows and Mac-based testing workstations.

• Each testing computer must be configured to refer to a Proctor Caching computer in order to obtain test content.

– If more than one computer is being used for Proctor Caching, be sure to specify the IP address of the correct Proctor Caching computer during the TestNav installation process. For example: if there are 80 computers that may be used for testing and two Proctor Caching computers, 40 of the testing computers may be configured to link to Proctor Caching computer A, and the remaining 40 may link to Proctor Caching computer B.

CBT Manual 157; Technology Coordinator Guide

Proctor Caching (cont.)

Proctor Caching Security• Proctor Caching software stores a copy of the test content on the local hard drive

of the machine on which it runs.• Test content transmitted and stored by the Proctor Caching computer is in

encrypted format.– At no time does the Proctor Caching computer un-encrypt the test items.

• The “Purge cache” function deletes all encrypted test content from the hard drive of the Proctor Caching computer.

• FLDOE and Pearson require that test content be purged at the end of each administration window.

Proctor Caching Computer Placement• Proctor caching should be implemented at the lab- level.• The Proctor Caching computer should be located as close as possible on the

network to the student workstations.51

Technology Coordinator Guide

Computer Preparations

• Each workstation (student computer) to be used for testing must meet the minimum specifications and be prepared according to the instructions provided in the 2013–2014 Technology Coordinator Guide available at www.FLAssessments.com/AdditionalResources.

• Schools must ensure that all workstations meet the minimum specifications; in addition, it is strongly recommended that an ePAT be run on all new workstations to ensure that the display size is appropriate for testing.

• The Infrastructure Trial test must also have been successfully loaded on each workstation prior to the test administration.

• Any schools that have not already downloaded the newest version of TestHear to workstations for students who will use accommodated CBT forms must go to www.FLAssessments.com/Downloads and download the updated software.
