Once you have the Proctor Dashboard open, provide students their credentials. Print cards, also known as 'test tickets,' are typically provided by the school test coordinator, but may also be printed from the Proctor Dashboard. For summative testing, be sure to follow the steps in any scripts provided for the test administration.

Where Do Students Start?

How students access their test depends on which testing platform they use, which ADAM environment (URL) applies, if it is a locked down kiosk mode, and whether or not they have accounts to sign into ADAM. Ask your test coordinator or Pearson program team if you are unsure which applies for your students.

What if there is no Test Code on the Student Test Tickets (Print Cards)?

If the proctor group was not created ahead of time with students added, the test code won't appear on the print card – you can find it in the Actions section on the Proctor Dashboard. Write down and post on the wall where students can see it.

Student Test Access Via My Classes

Students who are set up to log into ADAM and are assigned to an administration can launch a test from My Classes. When students start a test, the proctor group is created (if the teacher has not already created the group). 

If the student is already assigned to a proctor group, the student does not need an identifier or test code; they will simply click Start Test, acknowledge a confirmation message, and the test will load.
