Registering: The first time you use the online testing system will probably be in the Computer Lab. Find the Launcher program, select the Math Courses window, and then select Online Testing (Use either the Netscape or Explorer version). Now select Register. After clicking on I Accept, you will go to a registration form. Be careful to select the correct class at the bottom of the screen. The login name and password that you choose now will be required for every test that you take.
Signing In: Whenever you want to take a proctored exam, you must come to the Computer Lab. You will need to sign in to the log book at the front desk, and show an ISU ID. Once the proctor has entered this information, you can sit down and begin your exam. When you are done and ready to have the exam graded, you must notify the proctor again. Usually, you need only to raise your hand and get the proctor's attention.
Starting an Exam: Use the Launcher, select Math Courses and then Online Testing. Now choose Assignments. Select your class from the list. On the Assignments page, select the proctored exam or practice exam you want. If you choose a proctored exam, you will then be asked to enter your login name and password.
Taking an Exam: You will see one question at a time. To move from question to question, use the arrow keys inside the window; do not use the BACK key on the Browser!
Grading an Exam: When you are finished the exam, select the Grade button, and notify the proctor that you are done.
Exam Rules: You can take a proctored exam once a day, until the deadline specified by your instructor. Usually, the highest grade you make is the one that counts.
During the exam, you will be supervised by the proctor. The proctor is authorized to observe your computer screen at any time. The proctor can terminate your exam if you are found to be behaving improperly. Such behavior includes using reference notes, sending or receiving messages, running other programs, or referring to your old results.
Remote Access: You don't have to come to the Math lab to take a sample exam or review your graded work. There is a web site that allows any ISU student to log in remotely and do this work.
Printing: You can print sample exams the way you'd expect, by selecting the Print button on your browser. But you can't print proctored exams this way. To print a proctored exam, go to the Online Testing homepage, and then choose My Results. There you will see every graded assignment you have taken. Now you can select one, and print it using your browser's Print button.
