Group Administration

• Groups are useful when everyone is taking the same test or set of tests

• You can authorize tests by group rather than by individual

• Groups allow you to pull group reports from the Reports Portal

Group Administration Process

Generally, you’d follow the steps below when administering tests to a group of examinees:

1. Create a group; record the Group ID

2. Create test registrations

3. Complete the financial profile

4. Authorize one or more exams for the entire group

5. Assist examinees with launching their exam(s)

6. Generate score reports
