When a student responds to a test question, TestNav saves the response in a saved response file (SRF) and sends these responses to the Pearson server. After the responses successfully save to the Pearson server, TestNav deletes the SRF. By default, TestNav automatically creates a Pearson folder in the user's home directory (the user account or login typically determines the directory name). The SRF saves in a an SRF folder within that Pearson folder.
TestNav also writes to a log file during the testing session. These files help Pearson troubleshoot issues, if they occur. TestNav saves these log files in a Logs folder within the Pearson folder, as well.

For Windows and Mac OS X, you must configure student accounts to have complete read, write, and delete access in all save locations. Pearson strongly recommends that you configure a shared network folder that can be accessed from all testing computers as a secondary save location for SRFs to ensure that you do not lose responses, even if a student cannot continue to test on the same computer. You must verify that you can access the location from multiple testing computers. You cannot configure the log file save location. |
