TestNav vs. TestHear form assignment 4 Schools can decide whether to set up a separate test session for each group of students who will use TestHear accommodated forms, or to include these students in a test session with students using TestNav If your school will set up test sessions by test group, all students requiring TestHear forms (including assistive devices) will need to be in a separate session from students who are using TestNav forms (the script for students using TestHear is different from the script for TestNav CBT administrations) In this case you will need to create an accommodated test session If your school sets up test sessions by test day or by test administration, it is not necessary to create a separate session for student using TestHear In this case you will need to assign accommodated test forms within the session

How to choose the correct TH form 5 Use the Session Roster or the Session Details screen to review the accommodated forms assigned to all students Check the form assignment very carefully prior to testing FormAccommodation(s) Lrg PrtLarge Print Zoom Col ConColor Contrast Scr RdrScreen Reader Lrg Prt+Col ConLarge Print and Color Contrast Lrg Prt+Scr RdrLarge Print and Screen Reader Lrg Prt+Col Con+Scr RdrLarge Print, Color Contrast, and Screen Reader Zoom+Col ConZoom and Color Contrast Zoom+Scr RdrZoom and Screen Reader Zoom+Col Con+Scr RdrZoom, Color Contrast, and Screen Reader Col Con+Scr RdrColor Contrast and Screen Reader Assistive Devices
