Test Sessions
4
Test sessions are groupings of students who will take the same test at the same time and place.
Students are assigned to test sessions. Test sessions are assigned to test administrators who will oversee that group of students during testing.
What is a Test Session?
5
Naming Conventions
SR/PNP Field Naming Convention Sample Code
Test Administrator
Lastname.Firstname Doe.Jane
Session Name SUBJECT.grade.TAinitials. regular(R)/makeup(M)
ELA.03.JD.R
6
Students who are absent for a test must complete the test at a later date within the school test window.
Makeup sessions must be grouped by grade and test subject in the PAN system. Students in different grades taking different tests can be in the same makeup testing room if their tests require the same directions and are the same amount of testing time (see PARCC Test Administrator Manual for details).
Makeup Sessions
PAN Practice

Test sessions can be created manually in PAN, or can be created via upload of the Student Registration/Personal Needs Profile (SR/PNP) file.

Action Required Flags
Action required flags remind PAN users that they have work requests. The most common request will be a transfer request.
This process will be covered in more detail at test security training.
25
Resolve Warning and Errors Flags
Resolve warning and error flags will remind PAN users that they have student errors or missing student information.
26
Resolve Warning and Errors Flags
• Student Errors – rejected student tests (paper only)
• Student Critical Warnings – student data is missing
• Accommodations Reminders
• Email Delivery Failures
27
Preparing sessions is a new step for spring 2017 testing.
This step assigns forms to each student, based on their SR/PNP information.
Accommodations and accessibility features must be accurate and up to date prior to preparing sessions.
