Test Pause
15Slide16
For Smarter Balanced computer adaptive tests (CATs) that
have been paused for less than 20 minutes, students returning from a break in testing can revisit any items in the current test segment and change their answers if desired.
Students
taking a CAT who have paused their tests for longer than 20 minutes may only return to the most recently visited page containing unanswered test items in the current test segment. They may change any answers present on this page but may not access any items on previous pages or in previous segments of the test. If all items on the most recently visited page were answered prior to pausing, the student will resume the test on the next page with unanswered items and will not be allowed to access previous pages or segments of the test.

Test Timeout Due to
InactivityAs a security measure, after
30
minutes of test inactivity, students are logged out and their tests are paused automatically.Inactivity is determined by whether the student is interacting with the test by selecting answers or using navigation tools. Clicking an empty space on the screen is not considered activity.Students
will receive a warning message prior to being logged out and must click [OK]
on the
pop-up
within 30 seconds in order to avoid automatic logout and pausing of their
test.
If
a student’s test is paused due to inactivity, the same rules apply as when the student intentionally pauses the test.
