FAQ Troubleshooting Tip:

Blue screen or white screen appears upon launch of TDC.

Java and Air updates may occur. The recommendation is to turn off the auto update feature.

If a java/air update request occurs during launch of TDC, typically the TDC cannot complete the launch. The result is a blue or white screen. Usually, the update prompt window is behind the blue/white screen, so the user is not aware of the request.

Slide 67

** FAQQ: Why is the test “Untimed”? I thought all operational tests were timed.

A: The tests are timed tests with time limits. TAS offers an option to manage the time limits via the computer – which would automatically end the student testing session if time runs out. The tests are timed in the classroom by the test examiner instead of by the application.

** FAQQ: The Allow Test Breaks checkbox has been checked. I cannot uncheck the box. Why? A: Test breaks between sessions adds to the security of the test. This feature cannot be turned off.Q: What is a “Test Access Code” and why is it important? Can I change the Code? A: Access codes are the “keys” to access the test content. The TAS will default to Test Access Codes. These can be changed anytime prior to the first student logging into the test.

** FAQQ: I need to move a student from one school to another school in my corporation. Is that okay?A: While it is possible within TAS to move a student from one school to another school, please do not move students between schools.

If a student moves from one school to another school within or outside of the corporation: 1) Flag the student record at the original school as “Will Not/Did Not Test”. 2) Create a new student record at the new school. 3) The new student record should be assigned to test sessions at the new school. 4) Consult with the IDOE if you are not sure if the student should test at the new school.

** FAQQ: All of the grade 3 students in my corporation will test at one location. Can I create one large test session and add all students?

A: Yes, as long as the user who creates the sessions has access to the schools or corporation level. Delete the CTB created sessions. Create a single session and add students. Do not “move” students to the testing school. Test tickets will need to be printed by the user that has access to all of the students.
