Navigate to your Testing Dashboard for the Testing Section you are about to administer. (For help and more details on how to navigate the testing dashboard, please refer to the following help article)

Click “Send Login Links” and skip to step 4 or if not yet complete, “Print Passwords” to generate the Username for each Student and the common Testing Section Password.
Print this file and prepare each Student’s unique login credentials in a manner suiting the age of your Students (see suggestions on the Preparing Student Login Credentials page linked here).
Click “Open Grade.”
Have Students navigate to test.arktest.org/student_login and log in with their unique credentials. You, or other adults, might need to enter these ahead of time for younger Students.
Have Students confirm their Name and Date of Birth on their individual holding screen.
Confirm that all Students appear as “Online” in the Status field of your Dashboard.
Select “Begin Test” when ready to start for all Students.
During the Test you will see Students’ progress indicated in the Dashboard.
Once all Students have completed the Test, or you have provided the amount of time you wish to allot to the Section, click “Close Test,” and all responses will be saved and the test will be sumbitted. ONLY press the Close test button when ALL of your students have tested (including absent students!). If you need to extend on into another day or test absent students at a later time, press "Pause test"

In an emergency, such as a fire drill or sudden Student illness, you can “Pause Test” to temporarily stop all Student submissions. You may then “Resume Test” when ready to begin again for all Students.
If a student is absent on the day of testing, you can leave them in the testing section. The section will "pause" overnight and you can "resume" it when the absent students are ready to test.
