3. Students will enter their ID number plus the session code from above.

4. On your proctor screen using you will see the students load as they log in. 

5. Ask students to put on their headphones. Once all are logged in and visible on your screen, click “Approve All.” Testing will begin immediately after you click “Approve All” with directions from the computer. 

6. For grade 4, 

   1. 3 sessions - timed: 3 ten minute sessions.

   2. If students finish early, they may draw on the provided screen app until the class is ready to begin the next subtest.

   3. When all students are done with a session, click “Continue Testing All.” This will create the session for the next subtest and begin testing students immediately. 

   4. When all subtests are completed (verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal), click “End Testing All”

1. If I click end testing all, “what happens?”

   1. It will end all testing and students will be exited from the system. You will be prompted that this will occur. If you just need to pause all and return, the option to do that is also there. 

2. What about those needing accommodations?

   1. Because of this being a universal screening tool, there are no accommodations.

3. What if a student’s behavior disrupts the testing for the whole class?

   1. Click “Pause All”. A confirmation dialog box appears in the student view. Instruct students to click or tap “OK”. Remove the source of the problem and then click “Resume All.”

4. What if I need to pause a single student’s test?

   1. On the session tab, click on the green PAUSE button in the row of the student’s name. Click the Play button when ready to continue in that same row. 

5. What about ELL (English Language Learners)?

   1. The purpose of using testing accommodations with English language learners is to reduce the impact that their limited experience with English has on the measurement of their reasoning abilities. The CogAT Screening Form was designed to be accessible to English language learners. Although language is used in all of the subtest directions, it is not used in the actual subtest questions.

6. Can I access DataManager now?

   1. Yes. Your account is live now and you can log in.
