RISE Test Administration

Manual

Spring Summative Administration Checklist

I have reviewed the TestAdministration Manual and knowthe administration process for RISEsummative assessments.

I have marked or identified thepages where applicable scripts arelocated.

I have administered and reviewedthe secure training tests with mystudents for all applicable subjects

I have reviewed my rosters toensure all my students appear incorrect course (See TIDE)

I have checked that allaccommodations have been appliedto students with IEPs/504 and thatstudents have used theaccommodations with the securetraining test

How to Administer RISE tests

1. The Test Administrator (TA) selects a test and starts a test session in the TA site from the Test Delivery System(TDS) that is accessed through the RISE portal.Please note: Best practice is to select and assign one test per session to prevent student confusion when testing first begins

2. Students sign in to the Student Testing Site using TA-provided session ID and request approval for tests.

3. The TA reads appropriate script to students prior to approving students for testing.

4. The TA reviews students’ requests and approves them for testing.

5. Students complete and submit their tests.6. The TA stops the test session and logs out.

Test Delivery System (TDS) : Test Administration Interface• All RISE assessments are accessed through the

Test Delivery System (TDS) from the RISE portal

instructions on destroying any printed testing materials and reporting testing improprieties or irregularities.

TroubleshootingDescription What to Do

What should I do if a test session ends? Log in and start a new session. Provide the students with a new session ID.

What should I do if a student gets logged out of a test while a session is still active?

If a student’s test session is interrupted, the student should log back in and rejoin the session.

What should I do if forbidden applications are running?

The Secure Browser will not allow the student to begin testing if forbidden applications are running. You will see messages advising you which applications must be closed before testing can begin.

What should I do if a student’s test freezes? Force-quit the secure browser and log back in. For instructions, refer to the Test Administration Manual.
