After Testing

Go to ‘All Applications --->Educator Scoring’ to score the writing and speaking tests. (Tests may take up to 2 hours before being available to score)

Go to ‘Report Delivery’ to view the report and scores. (Tests may take up to 2 hours before results are available to view)

Tips

  • Each test has a mini tutorial. Having students complete the separate practice test is not necessary.
  • Consider starting with Writing and Speaking so they will be available to score first.
  • If the student attempts a section but does not have the ability to answer any questions, the section may be ended early.
    • Reading and Writing select ‘End Test’ and follow prompts.
    • Speaking and Listening select ‘Pause’ and follow prompts. You will have to sign in again to complete the other tests.
  • Tests ended early may have to be manually ended by you in the student tab/student info page (look for green fast forward button).
