   First-Time Access to Test Day Toolkit

   Accessing Test Day Toolkit the first time requires 2-step verification, so do it before test day.

2. Add staff to the administration so they can use Test Day Toolkit on test day.

   • Important: Do this as soon as possible so there’s time to resolve any staff access issues before test day. 
   • Navigate to the Staff page.
   • Add contact details for your proctors and other test day staff.
   • Timesaver: If you’ve used the toolkit before, select returning staff from your staff list.
   • We’ll send access emails to new staff and use the contact details you provide for 2-step verification so make sure their email and phone number are current.
   • As part of 2-step verification, we send staff a code that expires after 3 minutes. Mobile numbers make first-time access easier.

3. Add rooms.

   • Navigate to All Rooms.
   • Give each room a name and a seating capacity.
   • If you intend to print a room directory, remember to use room names that help students locate their room. To protect student privacy, don’t use names that refer to accommodations.
