Main thing to check and pitfalls

Make sure that you give the students the correct URL link.

For example, https://hosted231.renlearn.com will not take you to the correct server.

You need to make sure that you have the set of numbers at the end.

For example, https://hosted231.renlearn.com/279423

Computer Compatibility

Any iPad (including iPad 1) works with Renaissance Testing (Not Renaissance Reader)

Unlike PowerSchool, only 1 login for both students and teachers. Again, you must use the URL link given to you by your Renaissance Learning representative.

• Tech person at your school needs to import student information (i.e. Export file from Powerschool)
• Prepare the User Name and password for each of their students well in advance.
• Create a student test account for each teacher so that teachers can get familiar with how the student takes the test.
