A test administrator notices the computer-based testing platform is running slowly during an exam. What is the MOST appropriate immediate action?
Answer: Document the issue, note the time, and contact technical support
Documenting the issue and contacting technical support preserves the integrity of the session while obtaining qualified assistance.
Which ACT policy governs the use of screen reader software during a computer-based ACT administration?
Answer: Approved screen reader accommodations must be documented and authorized before test day
ACT requires that accommodations such as screen readers be pre-authorized and documented in the student's accommodation file before test day.
When setting up a computer-based testing room, the administrator should ensure that:
Answer: All unauthorized applications and browser tabs are closed on every testing device
Closing all unauthorized applications and browser tabs prevents access to prohibited resources and maintains test security.
A student with an approved accommodation for extended time is using a computer-based platform. How should the test administrator manage timing?
Answer: Configure the testing platform with the approved extended time prior to the session
The testing platform must be pre-configured with the student's approved extended time so timing is accurate and automatic throughout the exam.
What does a 'kiosk mode' or 'secure browser' accomplish during computer-based ACT testing?
Answer: It restricts access to all other applications and internet content on the device
Kiosk or secure browser mode locks the device so examinees cannot access other applications, websites, or system functions during the test.
An examinee's computer freezes mid-section during a CBT administration. After resolving the technical issue, what must the administrator verify before allowing the student to continue?
Answer: That the student's responses prior to the freeze were saved and the timer accurately reflects remaining time
The administrator must confirm that previously entered responses were not lost and that the timer correctly reflects the time remaining for that student.
Which of the following is an administrator's responsibility when using ACT's online testing platform on test day?
Answer: Verifying that all student rosters and accommodation settings are correctly loaded in the system
Confirming that student rosters and accommodation settings are correctly entered in the platform is a key pre-administration responsibility.
