Spring 2021 Testing Mode for AzM2 and AzSCI
The Testing Mode Application will be open from September 21 - October 16, 2020.
All Achievement (AzM2 and AzSCI) testing is, by default, administered to students by computer.
No action needs to be taken if your school site(s) will remain computer-based for Spring 2021.
The District Test Coordinator (DTC) for any school site requesting paper administration in Spring 2021 for either AzM2 or AzSCI testing must complete the application in ADEConnect. The DTC will need to enter a reason for the testing mode change for each test for the site(s) that request a paper administration. The Assessment section will review each request individually and update the status in the application.
To request paper administration, log into ADEConnect. Select Assessment. Click the dropdown for Achievement Reports and select Achievement Test Mode to begin.
Please Note:
For AzSCI to be administered as a paper test, every student response must be key entered into the TestNav online testing platform once the students have completed testing by a Test Administrator who has been trained and who has submitted a test security agreement. All student responses must be entered in TestNav before the end of the AzSCI test window.
