Secure testing:
Secure testing is Recommended for MAP Growth™ when testing at school (for remote testing, use browser only). With proper setup, NWEA tools will prevent students from accessing other websites. Upon request, NWEA can activate a requirement for all students to use secure testing.
Note for Browser-only testing: For MAP Growth, testing with a standard browser such as Google Chrome™ is possible, but students can access outside resources during testing. As a result, you risk compromising your assessment. If you need students to test in the unsecured Chrome browser instead, please contact NWEA Partner Support for assistance.
To install or update:
For instructions on installing the app in kiosk mode, see the MAP Testing Chromebook kiosk app set-up guide.
