Before testing, you will need to create and add students to your student roster. This article provides more information on the following steps:
Creating student roster
- Navigate to Administration > Manage Rostering
- Change the date listed to today's date (the default loaded date will always appear one day behind as it works on US time)
- Enter a new roster name. We recommend using a format similar to the following:
“SchoolName TestMonth TestYear” - Click Add Roster on the right side of the page.
Adding a student to your roster
- Locate your roster file and click Add a student link under the Action column.
- Enter student’s details.
- Roster: Ensure the Roster is referencing your created roster. If this is another school's roster, go back to the previous page and make sure you are clicking the Add student link on the correct line.
- Location/Class: You will need to expand the list down to the relevant class applicable to the student and select the radio button (circle check button) on that class.
- Grade will automatically populate once Location/Class is selected.
- Last four fields are optional and can be left blank.
- Once fields are filled in, click Save.
