The Manage Testing section allows Coordinators to organize testing activity, assign user codes, monitor progress, enter required information, and release completed user codes for scoring. This area provides visibility into test activity and helps support a smooth, accurate testing process.

View and Monitor Tests
  • Use the available tabs, such as pre-test or post-test, to select the product you want to manage.
  • To view test details, click Expand All or use the + next to a test title. Details may include:  
          - Classification such as secondary or post-secondary  
          - Test type, such as multiple choice, performance, or both  
          - Number of sessions (1, 2, or 3) 
          - Expiration date  
          - Quantity (total user codes available for this title)  
          - Unassigned (quantity of unassigned user codes for this title)  
          - Assigned (quantity of assigned user codes for this title)  
          - Ready for Release (quantity of user codes ready to be released for official score report
            processing) 

Highlighted test titles indicate completed tests that are ready to be released for official score report processing. 

Important: Before testing begins always verify that the order information is accurate. Contact NOCTI before testing if any discrepancies are identified.  

Assign and Manage User Codes 
  • To access user codes, select any row under an expanded test title. From this area, Coordinators can:
  • Manually assign user codes by entering test taker information and selecting Save Changes (save frequently).
  • Assign user codes using uploaded test taker data.  
  • Reassign unused codes by selecting Unassign All and entering updated test taker information.
  • Apply approved accommodations (based on IEP and 504 plan).
  • Print and distribute codes:
          - Print user code list for Proctors  
          - Print labels for test takers using Avery 5164 format. Select individual test takers or all test
            takers for printing. 
          - Export user code lists to Excel. 

Each test taker must be assigned a unique ID. When using pre- and post-tests, use the same unique ID for both administrations to support accurate reporting and data comparison. A unique ID cannot be used by more than one test taker.
 
Apply Accommodations 
Accommodations may be applied based on a test taker’s IEP or 504 plan. 
 
Available options include: 
  • Text-to-Speech: Check the Text-to-Speech box in the far-left column.  
  • Extended Time: Select the assigned user code number to add extended time. 
  • Number of Sessions: Select the assigned user code number to modify the number of sessions. 
Track User Code Status 
Use the User Code Status column and filters to monitor testing progress: 
  • Unassigned: Available for use  
  • Assigned: Assigned to a test taker, but not started  
  • In Process: Testing has started, but is not complete  
  • Ready: Testing is complete and ready for release  
  • Released: Submitted for scoring  
Use the Test Progress column to quickly identify incomplete items or next steps. 
 
Access Preliminary Score Reports 
  • Preliminary scores are available after online testing is completed.  
  • The preliminary total score will appear in the Test Progress column. 
  • Select View Prelim to view, print, or email the preliminary report.  
  • The View Prelim link is available for 10 days after the user code has been released for official score report processing.  
Note: Preliminary scores are not saved in NOCTI's system. Official scores are available in the Reports and Certificates section after user codes have been released and scores have been processed. 
 
Enter Skill-Based Performance Ratings 
If the assessment includes a skill-based performance component, all performance ratings must be entered before scores are released. 

Complete Demographics 
Test taker demographics are optional and are completed by the test taker during testing. 

Administrator demographics are also optional and may be used to collect information about special populations for each test taker. These questions are not visible to the test taker. 

To enter administrator demographics: 
  • Click the Demographics link in the Test Progress column  
  • Enter responses as needed (note: some programs may require completion) 
Note: Demographics cannot be entered until the user code has been assigned. Once demographics are entered, the status changes to In Process, and the user code can no longer be modified. 

Release User Codes for Scoring 
In most cases, Coordinators must manually release user codes for scoring. User codes should be released only after testing is complete and all required steps have been finished, including performance rating entry when applicable. In some cases, the system may release codes automatically. When this occurs, no additional action is required.
