  3. SystemCheck for TestNav Overview • SystemCheck validates testing workstations meet the minimum requirements needed to run TestNav 8. • SystemCheck also provides the ability to run bandwidth speed checks to help plan for online testing capacity. • ACT Aspire Support may also use SystemCheck results to assist customers in troubleshooting.

  4. Accessing SystemCheck • SystemCheck can be accessed at http://SystemCheck.ACTAspire.org/ • SystemCheckis Java based and may require that you run and accept an applet

  5. iPads and SystemCheck • SystemCheck will not run on iPads • iPadsor other tablets are not supported for ACT Aspire testing in Spring 2014

  6. SystemCheck Functionality • Check Your System: • Validates system requirements are met on testing workstations • Provides steps to verify whether TestNav 8 can run on the workstation • Testing Capacity: • Tests bandwidth for internet connections • Estimates student volumes for capacity planning

  7. Check Your System: System Requirements • Validates computer workstation to ensure that minimum requirements are met

  8. Check Your System: TestNavVerification • Verifies that a laptop or desktop workstation can run TestNav

  9. Proctor Caching Overview Proctor Caching is Pearson-supplied software that is used in conjunction with TestNav to reduce bandwidth requirements and accelerate the delivery of test content. The Proctor Caching installer and training will be available in early 2014. Proctor Caching: • allows you to pre-cache test content to your local network before a test; • reduces the burden on your internet service provider (ISP) by eliminating redundancy in requests for test content; and • stores an encrypted local copy of all pre-cached tests. 9

  11. Testing Capacity • Tests internet bandwidth between the workstation and Pearson’s servers • To gather realistic results, SystemCheck should be run from a student testing machine on the same day of week/time of day as when you anticipate performing online testing.

  12. Testing Capacity: Results • Based on the bandwidth test, SystemCheck can provide an estimated number of students that can test concurrently.
