TestNav has a default setting for the primary location where it stores student response files. A primary save location is required. The default setting works well for most situations, but you may change it. As a best practice, Pearson recommends using both a primary and secondary backup location.

You can choose to save backup files to either the student’s testing computer or to Your options are to place the backup files in a directory on the computer the student is using (TestNav client) to take the test or in a directory on a network file server directory.  

Recommended folder structure for student’s computer - TestNav client

If you use a network file server as a backup location, whether primary or secondary:

• Do NOT use spaces in the save location path.
• Use a location that does not require authentication. If authentication is required, TestNav will not be able to access the shared location.We recommend

Pearson recommends that you: 

• Specify a mapped drive location, such as D:\TopDirectory\NextDirectory\SaveLocation
•  Do not use a Windows UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) or network path, such as \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource unless necessary.
