A student's screen freezes mid-test during a STAR assessment. What is the correct first action for the teacher?

The Scaled Score is a continuous scale that spans grade levels, making it ideal for measuring longitudinal growth over time.
When proctoring STAR, which behavior should a teacher immediately address?
Answer: A student verbally telling another student an answer
