 The Infrastructure Trial uses mock content that simulates the
loading and processing of an operational test administration.
 Instructions for running this trial can be found in the
Infrastructure Trial Guide available in PearsonAccess Next
 PearsonAccess Next (FCAT 2.0 and NGSSS EOC) Trial:
March 14-18 (any day in window)
 Complete the Pearson Infrastructural Trial survey

Arrange CBT Practice Test Sessions
• Schedule and arrange practice tests (ePATs) as described in the
Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT Manual.
• Before a student can participate in a computer-based administration, the
student must complete the appropriate ePAT(s) to learn how to use the
computer-based system.
• Students who previously participated in a TestNav 8 ePAT during the
2015-16 school year, for the subject test they are scheduled to take are
NOT required to participate in an ePAT session for this administration.
• Students who require accommodated CBT forms (e.g., text-to-speech,
masking) must also complete the appropriate accommodated practice
tests(s).
• For more information about ePATs, practice test content, and scripts for
administering the ePATs, go to www.FLAssessments.com/ePATs

Create Test Sessions
• Test sessions were created through the PreID file upload. You will
see these sessions when you log in to PearsonAccess Next.
• You may begin working on your test sessions in PearsonAccess Next after
the PreID window closes:
– FCAT 2.0 Retake and NGSSS Algebra 1 Retake EOC: February 8
– NGSSS Biology 1, Civics, and US History EOC: March 7
• The PreID test sessions can be temporary sessions for the purpose of
verifying student information, or they can be test sessions you plan to
use for testing.
– Fewer than 100 students in a test session is recommended as best practice.
• Detailed instructions on how to create a test session and verify student
information are on pages 45-50 of the Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT
Manual.

Verify PreID Labels for NGSSS PBT
• Before applying PreID labels to student answer documents:
o Verify that the student is still enrolled and will be tested.
o Verify the information on the PreID roster against the school’s
student information database.
o FIVE elements MUST be correct on a student PreID label:
 Student name
 Student ID number
 District number
 School number
 Grade level
o Destroy labels in a secure manner if ANY of this information is
incorrect.
o If any other preidentified information (e.g., date of birth) is
incorrect, use the PreID student label.

have to be removed.
Do Mark Complete:
• If a student exits and will not
resume testing
• If a student accidentally exited a
test instead of submitting
Do NOT Mark

• If the student was absent
the entire window and is
still in Ready status.
See the page 64 in the NGSSS CBT Manual to mark a test complete.
Note: If invalidation is necessary, mark the test complete and then complete
49
the steps to invalidate the test in the NGSSS CBT Manual.

• “Delete” all not started sessions and “Stop” all started sessions
– Absent students should be removed from the test session (not
marked complete).
 If absent students have already been marked complete,
nothing else needs to be done.
– Students in “Ready” status must be removed from the session
before it can be stopped.
– If students are in “Active,” “Exited,” or “Resumed” status, they
will need to be marked complete.
