http://mcas.pearsonsupport.com/manuals/ Glossary • PearsonAccessnext(PAN): the online management system. All schools will use PAN to register students and order test materials. Schools administering computer-based tests will also use PAN to manage testing activities for computer-based testing. • Student Registration (SR): student information needed to register a student for a test • Personal Needs Profile (PNP): a collection of selected accessibility features and accommodations a student needs to take a test • SR/PNP File: the file containing your student data to be imported to PearsonAccessnext • Guide to the SR/PNP Process: the guide posted at http://mcas.pearsonsupport.com/manuals/ that defines the field names and expected values for the SR/PNP file
Overview of the SR/PNP Process • ESE posts .CSV files of students in the MCAS folder in school and district drop boxes in the MassEdu Gateway. • Edit the file. • Remove students who are not taking the test. • Add students who should be tested. • Add or update accessibility features and accommodations when necessary. • CBT only; recommended, but not required during the initial SR/PNP window: enter session names in column M. View the “Creating Sessions” module and/or the Guide to the SR/PNP Process for more information. • Import the file into PAN. This file will register students for the tests assigned to them, and is the basis for your school’s shipment of test materials for PBT. • Contact your district SIMS contact if you are making updates to student information in the SR/PNP that is different from SIMS. (To find your district SIMS contact, go to http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/search/search.aspx?leftNavID=11239, select “SIMS Contact” from the “Function” menu, and click “Get Results”).
