It is that time of year again! Testing will begin in just a few weeks for our end-of-grade exams and at the end of May for end-of-course exams. From the NCTest website, there are no major updates to the testing requirements. Students will use the NCTest kiosk app on Chromebooks. It is a good idea to have students launch the NCTest tutorials in the next few weeks prior to testing. If they can access the tutorial on the Chromebook, they will not have any difficulty testing on that device.
One troubleshooting tip shared on the NCTest website is to check the screen resolution if NCTest does not launch. Powerwashing the Chromebook is another good troubleshooting step if issues arise.
