Administer the Getting Started tutorials

Data Package: Online Testing

Role: Account Holder, Administrator, Teacher, or Proctor

The Getting Started tutorials introduce students to the online test format, navigation, and tools. Students should take the related Getting Started tutorial prior to taking a test.

The Getting Started Tutorial is a practice test and is not required for testing.

Schedule a session for the Getting Started tutorial as you would any other test session. The tutorial can be taken as the first test on the day of testing. Students can repeat it, as needed, at the start of a new day or period of testing.

Note: You must set up a separate test session for the Getting Started tutorials. For instructions, see Create a Test Session.

Iowa Assessments Upper-level Getting Started Tutorial
