4. TestNav vs. TestHear form assignment • Schools can decide whether to set up a separate test session for each group of students who will use TestHear accommodated forms, or to include these students in a test session with students using TestNav • If your school will set up test sessions by test group, all students requiring TestHear forms (including assistive devices) will need to be in a separate session from students who are using TestNav forms (the script for students using TestHear is different from the script for TestNav CBT administrations) In this case you will need to create an accommodated test session • If your school sets up test sessions by test day or by test administration, it is not necessary to create a separate session for student using TestHear In this case you will need to assign accommodated test forms within the session

5. How to choose the correct TH form • Use the Session Roster or the Session Details screen to review the accommodated forms assigned to all students • Check the form assignment very carefully prior to testing

6. Demo creating an accommodated test session & assigning TestHear forms

7. Reading Passage Bookletform assignment • Students using a Reading Passage Booklet for the FCAT 2.0 Reading test on TestNav will need to have a specific form assigned to them in PearsonAccess so their test aligns with the booklet • After test sessions are created, the school assessment coordinator must specify the appropriate form for each student in the test session who will receive a Reading Passage Booklet • Follow instructions in the Test Administration Manual to determine the applicable form to assign and for steps to assign this specific form • If students are moved to another session, their form assignments may change

8. Default to “Main” form • When creating a new test session, you will need to select the Default Form Group Type • The Form Group Type should be set to “Main” unless you are setting up a session for TestHear students • New feature – “Main” now displays as the first option for Default Form Group Type

10. How to change a form once it has been assigned incorrectly • If the student has already logged into the incorrect test form: • You will not be able to change the Form/Form Group Type as previously described • Pearson Customer Support will need to walk you through the process of getting the correct test form assigned

12. Logging into correct test platform • Check the form assignments very carefully prior to testing • Be sure to have students sign into the correct test platform, either TestNav or TestHear, based on their test form assignment • If students attempt to sign into the wrong test platform, the following error messages will appear: (Incorrectly attempting to log into TestNav) (Incorrectly attempting to log into TestHear)
