What is the PRIMARY reason students are prohibited from having cell phones accessible during a TestNav exam?
Answer: Phones can be used to photograph questions, communicate answers, or access the internet
Cell phones pose multiple security risks including photographing content, receiving outside help, and accessing unauthorized resources.
Which log does the TestNav Proctor application use to track student activity during an exam session?
Answer: The session and event log visible in the proctor dashboard
The proctor dashboard provides a real-time digital log of student session events, including logins, pauses, and submissions.
Under FERPA, who is permitted to access a student's TestNav score data?
Answer: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate educational interest or the student's parent/guardian
FERPA restricts access to student educational records, including test scores, to those with a legitimate educational interest or legal authorization.
What action should a proctor take if they suspect two students are communicating during a TestNav session?
Answer: Move one student to a different seat and document the incident
Separating students and documenting the incident is the appropriate response, as invalidation requires investigation and authority beyond the proctor.
Why is it important for testing devices to be charged or plugged in before a TestNav session begins?
Answer: A device shutdown during testing could disrupt the session and potentially affect saved responses
An unexpected shutdown is a technical disruption that can cause session errors, though TestNav's auto-save minimizes data loss.
A proctor realizes they issued the wrong Student Authorization Ticket to a student who has already started testing. What should the proctor do?
Answer: Stop the session immediately, document the error, and report to the test coordinator to determine next steps
Responses submitted under the wrong credentials must be reviewed by a coordinator to determine if they can be transferred or if retesting is required.
Which of the following best supports a 'chain of custody' for printed test materials used alongside TestNav?
Answer: Tracking and accounting for every printed test booklet or accommodation document from distribution through collection and secure storage
Chain of custody requires that every secure document is logged, tracked, collected, and stored to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.
