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
- Navigate to Administration > Manage Students
- Click Add Student.
- Enter the student’s details.
- Roster: Ensure the Roster is referencing your newly created roster.
- 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.
- Each field marked with an asterisk is mandatory. More information about these fields can be read in the table below.
- Once fields are filled in, click Save.
