Signing in to the Student Interface

This section describes the student sign-in process for the Student Interface. Students follow this procedure when starting a new test or resuming a paused test.

Warning: Students must sign in to the appropriate testing site:

For sessions created in the TA Interface, students sign in to the Student Interface. If taking a test remotely, students can use a supported web browser, such as Chrome.
For sessions created in the TA Interface Training Site, students sign in to the Student Training Site. Students can sign in to the test session with their real identities or as guest users. Students can access the Student Training Site on the OSAS Portal.
For practice tests in unproctored sessions, students can sign in to guest sessions in the Student Training Site.

Enable Settings from the Student Sign-In Page

Students can modify the settings they want to use during the sign-in process. Some settings, such as color-choice and print size, may only persist until you set the actual test settings during the TA approval process.

To edit settings, students select the cog wheel in the upper-right corner of the page.
In the window that pops up, students select their preferred settings from the available options.
- If audible page directions are available, students can adjust their pitch, rate, and volume settings.
- If language settings are available in the Change Language panel, students can select an option from the Select Language drop-down list to choose the language in which button labels, messages, and other elements are displayed in the Student Interface, not including the actual test content.
To apply the settings, students select OK.
