Question of the Week

Q: When is the window to create online test questions for the ACT Fall 2022 Senior Administration?

A: Testing staff can begin creating online test sessions and add students to those sessions starting on Monday, Sept. 5. Detailed instructions for creating online test sessions and adding students to those sessions can be found within step 4 of the ACT-hosted website. The Create and Assign Test Sessions training tutorial resource will assist testing staff with completing this task. Please be aware that students must have a test delivery mode online and be associated with the appropriate school within PearsonAccessNext (PAN) for testing staff to add students to an online test session. Note: All students were uploaded by KDE with an online delivery format. If you need assistance or have additional questions, please contact Shara Savage.

Testing Allegations

If there are any outstanding testing allegations from Spring 2022 that have not been filed in Caveon Core, please file the incident reports by the close of business on Friday, 9/2/2022. Please email Beth Bales at beth.bales@education.ky.gov if you are unable to file the incident reports by that date.

ACT Fall 2022 Senior Administration: Enroll Requests

Testing staff who have seniors enrolled at their school(s) after the Student Data Upload (SDU) took place in early August, must submit an enrollment request within PANfor those students to be added to an online test session. Testing staff should review the Enroll, Verify and Update Students training tutorial posted within step two of the ACT-hosted website for detailed instructions. Please note that unenroll requests will not be processed at this time, as we are beyond the deadline by which student information was to be verified within PAN. Please note that students who will not test do not need to be unenrolled – they should not be placed in an online test session and do not test. If you need assistance or have additional questions, please contact Shara Savage.
