Testing Information

This area includes the name of the Test/Assessment, the name of the administration, which should correspond to the Grade Level and Session number, and the name of the Proctor Group.

 

Config Information

This area provides the test window for the overall Maine Science Assessment, the Proctor’s name, and a field called Kiosk Only, which for the Science Assessment will always be “Yes.”  This indicates that the ADAM Lockdown Browser should be installed on the students’ test-taking devices.  At the beginning of the assessment session, students will launch the ADAM assessment delivery platform by opening the ADAM Lockdown Browser.  For more information, please see the ADAM Lockdown Browser Installation Guide.

 

Test Code

This is the test code used by all the students in this proctor group to log into the assessment. 

• Click the expand arrows found next to the code to maximizes the code to a full-screen view of the test code.
• Click the minimize arrows (on the expanded test code window) to return to the normal Proctor Dashboard page.

Print Cards

Proctors can

1. print a Roster and the Assessment Cards (a.k.a, “test tickets”) for distribution to the students or
2. use the Print Cards function to open a second window displaying the student cards from this proctor group.

Session Management Area

In this area, you will be able to view, filter, and search for students in your proctor group and manage their sessions.

Tester

The name of the student.

 

State

The state/status of the students’ assessment will display one of the following.  Note that the Proctor does not “start” the test from the Proctor Dashboard. Students once instructed to do so by the Proctor, will start their tests by launching the ADAM assessment application on their devices and entering their SSID and the test code.

 

• Not Started – the student has not logged into the assessment.
• In Progress – the student has logged into the assessment. No action is needed by the Proctor.
• Breached – the student has exited the lockdown browser. The Proctor needs to ‘reseat’ the student before they can log back into the assessment.
• Paused – the Proctor has paused one or all sessions. The student sees the ‘Test Paused’ message on their screen.  There is a time delay of about 30 seconds between pressing the pause button and the student actually being paused. The Proctor must ‘resume session’ before the student is allowed back into the session.
• Tester Paused – the student has paused their own session. The student sees the ‘Test Paused’ message on their screen.  The Proctor can restart the student’s session, or the student can click the resume button to resume the test.
• Reseat – the Proctor, has ‘reseated’ the student(s). The student has not yet logged back into the session.  No action is needed by the Proctor.

 

Accommodations

Suppose a student has accessibility accommodations assigned by their school or district for the Science Assessment. Those will be displayed in the Accommodations column.  The accommodations are abbreviated.  Hovering over the code opens a dialogue window showing the full description.

 

Accommodations relevant to the assessment session administration include Text to Speech, Read Aloud, Scribe, Extended Time, etc.

 

Started Time

Captures the time the student started the assessment session. Proctors will not need to monitor this information.

 

Health

Health helps the Proctor know if the student is interacting with the assessment.  Health can be one of three values: 

• Not Started – the student has not logged into the assessment. No action is needed by the Proctor.
• Active – the student has logged into the assessment. The student has recently interacted with the assessment.
• No Activity – the student has not interacted with the assessment for at least 90 seconds. This could indicate that the student has:
  • Exited the lockdown browser by closing the browser
  • The student will need to have their session ‘reseated’ by the Proctor before they can log back into the assessment.
  • The student is still in the assessment but hasn’t interacted with the application
  • No action is needed by the Proctor as long as the student is still in the lockdown browser.

 

Section and Item

Section and Item display the progress of the students.   The item progression shows which question the student is working on.

Actions

 

The toolbar at the top of the student sessions list is used for actions applied to ALL student sessions.

 

	Pause All Students - Proctors can pause all students’ sessions.  Proctor must resume the session for all students to resume testing.
	Resume All Students - Proctors will use this button to resume all students’ sessions allowing all students whose tests were paused to continue testing.
	Release All to Next Section – When tests have a structured stop and release between sections, Proctors use this key to allow students to move onto the next section of the test.

 

 

Once the assessment session has started, a set of buttons will appear in the Action column for each student. Proctors can use these buttons to control individual student’s sessions:

 

	Pause Student - Proctors can pause an individual student session.  Proctor must resume the session for the student to resume testing.
	Reseat Student - To be used if a student has something occur that “interrupts” the session. (Computer issue, Session timeout, unexpected error). Reseating allows the student to renter their test code and SSID to resume their assessment session.
	Submit Student - To be used if a student finishes their test but fails to submit the test before exiting the test.
	Unsubmit Student – To be used if a student mistakenly submits their test.
