CAASPP Interim Assessment
Before Testing:

- Technology Requirement: Students must use a School Chromebook to access CAASPP Assessments. Access the test via “SecureTestBrowser” on a school Chromebook.
- How to update Google Chrome Browser
- Request Tech Support (AHS) (Your students will be contacted by our IT department regarding their Chromebook issues)
- How to access and distribute SSID (If you need a set of hard copy of SSID, please EMAIL Dr. WU at least one day before your testing day and she will get it ready for you, thanks!)

- How to view Interim Assessment questions
- *CAASPP Interim Assessment Video Series
During Testing:
- CAASPP Portal (Teacher: click "all online tests", next login with your TOMS account)
- How to start a test session ID: Test session ID MUST be generated right before the test on the testing day. The feature of pre-scheduling doesn't apply to Interim Assessments.
- SecureTestingBrowser:
If your students can't access secure testing browser due to having older versions of Chrome Browser (Chrome Browser Version must be 102 and above) and can't update the Chrome browser on their own, please ask your students to submit an online tech support request and our IT department will replace their Chromebook at a later date. Meanwhile, you can send your students to my classroom B120 to get a loaner to work on the test in your classes. All loaners MUST be returned to me by the end of your period.
