Normal Testing Process Flow

Company Actions

1. A Company comes to the system and creates a Company Account.
2. The Company creates Student Accounts (using the Add Student Button) for each of its employees that it wishes to assign tests.

   • Please insure that the proper language is selected for each student, as this will determine the language in which they will be tested.
   • It is the Company's responsibility to distribute the Student Usernames and Passwords.
3. The Company either:
   • purchases some number of Test Keys in bulk via the interface or
   • assigns Test Keys to each student for the desired module (Use the Update Grid button to save changes).
     • Tests Keys can be redistributed at any time prior to a student beginning that particular module.
     • Any unnassigned Test Keys will be shown in the Free Keys section at the bottom of the Student / Module Grid
       

Student Actions

1. The student logs in via the Student Login link.
2. The student selects the Module that they wish to test.
3. The student begins taking the current test.
   • If the student has previously started testing in a particular Module, they will be returned to that question within the test.
     
     

System Actions

1. When a student completes a test, the system will send both the student and the Company the results by email.   
2. The system will insure that the student will receive a different version of the test for that Module on their next attempt. 
3. If a student fails all tests in the system, for that language, for a particular Module, the System Administrator will be notified to create additional tests.

     • A variation of a question may have a different set of answers.
     • A variation of a question may have the answers reordered.
     • Multiple variations of a question may be active any one time.
   • Create new versions of a particular variation of a question
     • A new version of a question should be created when a substantive change is made to the structure of the question.
