Pausing Tests

Students can pause the test at any time. Pausing a test logs the student out. To resume testing, students must repeat the sign-in process (see the section Signing in to the Student Testing Site).

Pausing a test also pauses the Test Clock on the Student Testing Site until the test is resumed.

To pause a test:

1. The student selects Pause in the global menu. A confirmation message appears.
2. The student selects Yes. The Student Sign-In page appears.
   Consult the program-specific Test Administration manual for pause rule details.
   Once the pause rule has taken effect, students can only re-access test questions if the district test coordinator submits a test status request for reopen in TIDE.

Alert: When students are testing on Chromebooks, make sure that they pause the test before closing the lid of the Chromebook. If the lid is closed before the test pauses, whoever opens the Chromebook next will be able to see the last question that the student was viewing (and any response they entered).
