Proctoring using the NEW 2025-2026 ARK User Interface (after October 22nd 2025)

We're proud to introduce a new look to the ARK system. Most functionality is the same as in previous years. But if you are still testing, here is a quick primer on running testing:

1. To access your Sections, you still click on "Testing Sections" in the left sidebar menu
   
2. Then click on the three-dot menu in the Testing Sections list, select "Testing Dashboard"
   

1. The Dashboard still has the same controls, but a slightly different layout:
   

• Step 1: Make sure you have your student login credentials
• Step 2, Click the dark blue "Open Grade X Theo 2025-26" button in the upper right corner
• Step 3: When students are logged in, you click the Green "Begin Test" button
• Step 4: Optional for Theology grades 2-6, you click "Enable Audio" to allow playing all questions and answers for the entire testing section
