TA Site Features

This section provides instructions for using the features available in the banner at the top of the TA Site.

Look Up Students

You can use the Student Lookup tab to perform a search for student information. This is useful if students signing in to your test session cannot remember their login information.

Warning: You must ensure that a student's demographic information is correct before testing begins. If a student’s information is not correct, that student should not begin testing.

To perform quick searches:

Open the Student Lookup tab.
In the Quick Search tab, search for a student by their full State-SSID. Search results appear below the search field.

To perform advanced searches:

Open the Student Lookup tab, and then click the Advanced Search tab.
1. Select the appropriate LEA and school from the drop-down lists.
2. Select the appropriate grade level.
3. Optional: Enter a student’s exact first or last name. Partial names are not allowed.
Click the magnifying glass icon.

Print or View Resolved Student Print Requests

You can view and print a list of every print request you approved or denied during the current session.

Select Print Requests from the Menu in the top-right corner. The Print Requests window opens and displays the resolved print requests.
To print the contents of the Print Requests window, select Print.

Policy: Federal law prohibits the release of students’ personally identifiable information. Any printouts must be securely stored and then destroyed when no longer needed.

Note: For information about approving print requests, see the section Approve or Deny Students' Print Requests.

Print Session Information

You can print a snapshot of the TA Site as it currently appears, if you wish to keep a hard-copy record of the Session ID or list of approved students.

In the top-right corner, open the Menu and click Print Session.

View Remote Testing Session Access Details

When you start a remote test session, a Session Information window pops up, providing the session ID and link that you need to share with remote students who will join the session. Students using the Secure Browser need to enter the session ID when they are signing in. Students using supported web browsers like Chrome can click the link to access the testing website with the session ID pre-filled. You can view this information at any point during the test session.

In the top-right corner, open the Menu and click Share Link. The Session Information window pops up, displaying the session ID and link for accessing the test session.
