  • Open the MAP Reading Fluency app

  • Triple-click the Home button

  • Tap Start in the upper-right corner

• Be sure the student is logging in to the student testing site at readingfluency.mapnwea.org/studentlogin (on an iPad, log in to the MAP Reading Fluency testing app)
• Be sure the student is using the correct password
• If you aren’t sure what the student’s password is, follow these steps to assign a new one:
  • On your own logged-in device, click Student Passwords
  • Select the checkbox next to the student’s name
  • Double-click the asterisks
  • Type a password
  • Click the checkmark icon
  • Log the student in

Tip: If your entire class is unable to log in, select all students using the checkbox next to the header of the Student Name column, then Change Multiple Passwords to assign a single password to the entire class.

• Adjust the mic so it is about two finger widths from the corner of the student’s mouth
• Make sure the student hasn’t accidentally adjusted the inline controls and isn’t covering the mic with their hand
• Instruct the student to speak in a normal voice
• Click Repeat mic check
• If audio issues persist, clear browser cache or change devices

• If the student doesn’t pass the mouse skills check, they are locked out of the test; provide coaching so that the student can try again
• Refresh your Proctor Dashboard, then click Unlock next to the student’s name

Encourage the student to finish the section they’re on

If the student is able to finish the section:

• Click the red pause button when it appears in the upper right of the student’s screen
• When the student returns, click Continue

If the student is not able to finish the section:

• Refresh the webpage in the student’s browser (or on an iPad, close the app by double-tapping the home button and swiping up)
• When the student returns and clicks Go!, they will restart the section where they left off

• Close the browser on each student’s device to stop the test
• If you don’t have time to close the browsers, the students’ tests will pause at the end of the section they are on
• When you return, log the students in again so they can resume testing
• If you feel you need to discard the students’ results and start over from the beginning, refresh your Proctor Dashboard, then click Start Over
