***Quick Reference for Student Chromebook IAR Setup (TestNav)***
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The IAR app for student testing is called TestNav.
- If students are signed into their Google accounts, they will need to sign out to access the main Chromebook login screen.
- The TestNav app is one of the secure testing apps located in the lower left of the main Chromebook login screen (“Apps”->”TestNav”)
- If this is the first time TestNav has been launched, this will be the screen students see. Choose “Illinois”:
- Students will now be at the main Illinois login screen
***If it does not say “Illinois” here, their login ticket will not work*** If it says anything else up top, have them click the upper right icon and “Choose a different customer” to go back to previous menu (above)
Audio level can also be tested on this screen.
- Students can now log into the test with the printed ticket provided by the administering teacher.
- Before each unit, there are instructions the teacher & students read. When ready, they can hit “Start”.
- At this time, the teacher should note the starting/ending times on the whiteboard.
- Example student question screen. Note the following:
- Upper left navigation (circled orange). Students can manually move back & forth between questions.
- Bookmark icon (circled yellow): bookmark questions to review later before submitting.
- The toolbar (circled pink): shows tools available (may change each question).
- The “Review” menu (circled green): students can mark questions for review and hop back and forth between questions. Bottom portion shows # of Not Answered and Bookmarked questions.
- There is also Math Reference Sheet available during testing. It is viewable by clicking the “Exhibits” dark-square icon on the right-hand side of questions when applicable.
