Preparation

  • Determine how much time students need. A typical WebXam assessment for a test taker with no accommodations is limited to 40 minutes (1 minute times the number of questions on the assessment).
    • Some assessments are shorter, such as WebXam Pathway Practice Tests.
    • Some are significantly longer, such as WebXam Field Tests, which are approximately 100 questions long and thus may require as much as 100 minutes for test takers with no accommodations.
  • See the WebXam “About the Tests” page to see if an assessment is in field testing and thus may require a longer testing period.
    IT Department Questions
    • Can they enable a kiosk-mode application for use during testing?
    • Can they limit access to specific websites? (For WebXam, those websites are: *.webxam.org)
    • Can they block access to any AI tools not required based on IEPs?
    • Can they provide logging of all sites students accessed during testing?
  • Ensure the testing room is secure: no posters, notes, or materials that could aid students.
  • Confirm that all devices that will be used for testing are district-managed and secure.
  • Coordinate with IT to restrict access to non-WebXam websites.
  • Confirm accommodations for students with IEPs or 504 Plans are correctly applied in WebXam.
