requiring accommodated computer-based test forms (including
assistive devices) will need to be in a separate session and in a
separate testing room from students who are using nonaccommodated CBT forms. (Separate sessions/rooms are required
because the students require different scripts.)
• If your school will set up test sessions by test day or by test
administration, it is not necessary to create a separate session for
students who require accommodated CBT forms. Follow the
instructions for assigning an accommodated form for each student.

Workstation Specifications
Additional Specifications for TestHear (Accommodated Forms)
• TestHear will operate on Windows PC workstations and on Macintosh workstations that have
Mac OS 10.5 or later installed and are running Windows (e.g., via Boot Camp). TestHear will
not work on Mac OS X 10.4 or on Macs that cannot also run Windows.
• For students requiring the screen reader, the computer must be equipped with an audio card
and headphones.
• For an optimal student experience, any computer that takes a noticeably long
period of time (e.g., more than 10 seconds) to start and run applications,
even computers which meet the requirements, should not be used for highstakes computer-based testing, if possible.
• The testing platform does not permit access to other applications during
testing. This means that any applications that may automatically launch
during testing will interrupt the student’s testing session, logging the student
out of the test. Applications such as antivirus updates, power management
software (laptops), screen savers, and email with automatic message
notifications should be configured so they do not launch during test sessions.
101
Monitor Display and Shading
• To ensure students will see all of the content in the test,
students are asked to confirm that they can see the 15%
shading on the Test Group Code screen when they first log
in to the test.
• If students cannot see the shading, they must exit the test
and their monitor settings must be adjusted.
• General instructions for adjusting monitor settings are
provided on pp. 131-132 (Winter EOC Manual). The steps
for changing contrast and brightness settings will vary
depending on the manufacturer and model of each
individual monitor.
102
Proctor Caching
• Instructions for installing Proctor Caching are provided in the
Winter EOC Manual (pp. 98-110).
• Computers used for Proctor Caching do not need to be server-class
machines but should meet the system requirements.

Proctor Caching can run on either a Windows or Mac operating
system, and each can support both Windows and Mac-based testing
workstations.
• Each testing computer must be configured to refer to a Proctor
Caching computer in order to obtain test content.


If more than one computer is being used for Proctor Caching, be sure
to specify the IP address of the correct Proctor Caching computer
during the TestNav installation process.
For example: if there are 80 computers that may be used for testing
and two Proctor Caching computers, 40 of the testing computers may
be configured to link to Proctor Caching computer A, and the
remaining 40 may link to Proctor Caching computer B.
103
Proctor Caching
• Proctor Caching Security
 Proctor Caching software stores a copy of the test content on the local
hard drive of the machine on which it runs.
 Test content transmitted and stored by the Proctor Caching computer is
in encrypted format.
 At no time does the Proctor Caching computer un-encrypt the test items.
 “Purge cache” function deletes all encrypted test content from the hard
drive of the Proctor Caching computer.
 FDOE and Pearson require that test content be purged at the end of each
administration window.
• Proctor Caching Computer Placement


Proctor caching can be implemented at either the lab- or the schoollevel.
Computer should be located as close as possible on the network to the
student workstations.
104
TestNav
• Installation instructions are provided in the Winter EOC Manual (pp.
110-117).
• Once TestNav has been properly installed and tested, it should
continue to be successful on student workstations through the test
administration, as long as no incompatible software updates are
made.
• Annual updates to TestNav may require re-installation of software.
(There are currently no updates to the software for 2011-2012. The
version of TestNav installed for 2010-2011 can be used for 2011-2012,
unless otherwise indicated by the FDOE.)
File Share vs. Local Install
• Two options for installing TestNav


File Share
Local Install
105
TestHear
• TestHear must be installed on all computers that will be used by
students requiring accommodated CBT forms (e.g., large print, zoom,
screen reader, color contrast, assistive devices).
• Instructions for downloading and installing TestHear are provided in
the Winter EOC Manual (pp. 117-118). A new version of TestHear
must be installed for this administration (available 11/18).
• TestHear ePATs will only operate on Windows PC workstations and on
Macintosh workstations that have Mac OS 10.5 or later installed and
are running Windows (e.g., via Boot Camp). TestHear will not work on
Mac OS 10.4 or on Macs that cannot also run Windows.
• Local installation is required for TestHear.
• TestHear accommodated forms are larger than regular TestNav forms.
To help determine bandwidth requirements and to provide an
opportunity to practice loading TestHear forms, accommodated test
data has been added to the Testing Volume Calculator in the TestNav
System Check (www.FLAssessments.com/SystemCheck) and to the
Infrastructure Trial in the Training Center.
106
Activities During Testing
 Ensure Proctor Caching software is running on all Proctor
Caching computers.
