Technical Readiness Checklist
Readiness for Bluebook testing includes network and device readiness as well as Test Day Toolkit setup.
Instructions
-
Work with your school or district technology staff to make sure your network and devices are ready for test day.
- You’ll need to work with the staff who manage your school’s network and devices.
- Share details about the upcoming test administration.
- They should check internet connectivity in each testing room, configure the network, and prepare school-managed testing devices if your students will use them.
-
Recruit a technology monitor.
- Technology monitors use our simple troubleshooting tips to help students on test day.
- They don’t require technical expertise.
- They need to be on-site.
- For SAT Weekend, recruit 1 technology monitor.
- For AP Exams, SAT School Day, and PSAT-related assessments schools can recruit more than 1 technology monitor.
-
Direct students who test on personal devices to download Bluebook.
-
Set up Test Day Toolkit—digital testing isn’t possible without it.
-
Check readiness the week before test day.
- If applicable, connect to Wi-Fi on a personal device in a testing room to make sure the network is set up for guest internet access.
- Add all testing staff to Test Day Toolkit and make sure they can sign in.
- For in-school testing, avoid potential delays by asking students to open Bluebook before test day so it can auto-update if needed. They don’t need to sign in.
- Make sure technology staff took all device readiness steps.
