Add Test Windows

When you add test windows in TIDE, those added at the district level take precedence over state-level test windows, and those added at the school level take precedence over district-level test windows.

Warning: While the test window can be changed, the new dates must be scheduled within the original state-level test window to be honored.

To create a test window:

  1. From the Test Windows task group, select Add. The Add Test Windows page appears.

  2. In the Test Window Information section, do the following:

    1. In the Window Name field, enter a new name for the test window.

    2. Select the type of entity for which you want to add a test window.

    3. Make selections from the Institution Selector based on the Entity Type selected.

    4. For the Window Date Range, enter the test window’s start and end dates.

  3. Below the Test Window Information section, select checkboxes of the tests to add to this test window.
    If available, expand each category to access all tests.

  4. To display only selected tests, change the switch to On for Show Selected Tests Only.

  5. Select Save, and in the pop-up select Continue to add another test window.

TIDE creates the test window, and it is immediately available in the TA Interface.
