Instruct students to sign in

 

To instruct students to sign in:

 

1.   Provide students with their individual credentials, which consist of either personal information as it appears on the roster (first name, last name, birth month and day) or a unique ID number (which also appears on the roster). A Teacher, Administrator, or Account Holder can Print student test tickets for an individual with the Proctor role to distribute to each student, either by pasting the information into an email or, if testing at a school or other site, by clipping the test tickets and passing them out.

 

2.   Distribute the test session code by email, for remote users, or on a chalk board if students are testing on site.

 

3.   On the  Manage tab of the Proctor Session page, click the name of the test session you will administer first.

 

4.    Instruct students to sign in to the test.

 

1. 1. Direct students to the student online testing app on their devices, where the student Sign In page appears. (Mobile device users must first launch the app and tap Take a Test to access the Sign In page.) For remote testing, provide the Sign In page's URL (riversideonlinetest.com) to students.
   2. Have students sign in to their accounts.

• • • Students using their names and birthdays to sign in must type their names exactly as they appear on their sign-in information slips or emails. After they fill in the First Name and Last Name fields on the Sign In page, have them use the calendar drop-down selections to ensure correct formatting of Birth Month and Birth Day.
    • Students using their unique student ID numbers must type those numbers exactly as they appear on their sign-in information slips or emails.

 

5.   Tell students to type the session code into the Session Code field. The code cannot be copied/pasted.

 

6.   Tell students to click the Sign In button. The following verification box opens on the student's Sign In page. The name should match the student's name. (If it does not, see the troubleshooting tips below.)

 

7.   Instruct students to click Yes if their name is correct. If they do, they arrive at a waiting room page or a sketching page, depending on whether or not the sketching page (Draw Screen) was enabled for this test event and session.

If the draw screen is allowed (Allow Draw Screen check box selected) for the test event, and the test session Draw Screen is set to On, then students see the following page while they are waiting, and they can use the color bar and cursor to doodle while they wait.

If the Allow Draw Screen check box is not selected for the test event, the Draw Screen will not be active for test sessions, and students see the Waiting... page:

 

After students confirm their names, they appear in the Waiting for Approval section of your session tab.

 

8.   Click the green check mark to approve a single student; use the Approve All button to approve multiple students, either in batches or when the entire group has signed in and is listed under Waiting for Approval.

 

See detailed information about approving or denying students for testing. Once approved, the students are ready to begin the test.

 

 

Troubleshooting student sign-in

 

If students are having trouble signing in using their names and birthdays, have them sign in using their unique ID numbers. These can be found by performing a search for students.

 

If a student's name appears in the Exceptions table of the Proctor page, click the link on the Exceptions bar to view detailed information and attempt to resolve the problem.

 

If a student still cannot sign in, verify the following:

 

• The student has not attempted to sign in to the test session before the Proctor has opened the test session. (In this case, the student receives the message: "The proctor has not started this test session. Please wait until the proctor starts the test session and then try to sign in again.")
  
  
• The student is signing in with either a unique name/birthday combination or a unique student ID number.
  
  
• The student is assigned to take the test, and to take it at the level being tested.
  
  
• The student has not already completed the test.
  
  
• If the student is taking part 2 of a two-part test, the student has completed part 1.
  
  
• For CogAT Screening and Post-Screener testers, the student is eligible to take the Post-Screener Form.

 

 

If you have questions regarding a student’s eligibility for taking a Post-Screener, contact your administrator or test coordinator.
