You can use the Resume feature to allow a student to continue within a test he or she exited before finishing it. If the student successfully signed out of the test — after you resume the test — the student can resume testing on any testing device without losing response data. 

Resume acts as a security measure. For example, if a student has a test ticket or remembers the password, he or she cannot sign in again until the proctor resumes the test.

There are two options for resuming a student test.

Resume uses only the test data last sent to the Pearson server, rather than data saved on a specific testing computer. 

Resumed Upload prompts TestNav to check for a saved response file (SRF) on the testing computer when the student signs in to continue.

(info)  If a student did not properly sign out of TestNav, follow these steps to resume the test for the student to complete. Dependent upon your program's requirements, the system can automatically set student tests to a "Resumed" status, enabling those students to log back in and continue testing.
