  13. A seal code is needed for all FCAT 2.0 tests This 4-digit code is auto-generated in PearsonAccess and is required for students to access Session 2 There is only one sealed section, which is accessed during Session 2 of testing There is one seal code included on the PDF within the Session Details page, and all students within a session will use the same seal code for Session 2 Students will need to be resumed after exiting Session 1 before they are able to log back in and enter the seal code for Session 2 Test administrators will need to ensure students work in the correct session Seal Codes

  14. Seal codes Available in PearsonAccess under Authorizations on the Session Details screen

  15. Seal Codes

  19. Session Roster • You may print a Session Roster for a list of the students tested in each session • This roster may be used to view and verify student data and to collect the required administration information • An Excel version of the session roster that users can sort and filter will also be available beginning Spring 2014

  22. Starting sessions • A test session must be started in PearsonAccess before students in the session can log in and begin taking the test • It is recommended that a session be started no earlier than the day before the test session is scheduled to begin

  23. Monitoring session status • After a session begins, you can monitor the real-time status of students

  24. FCAT 2.0 Tests – End of Session 1 Follow this sequence for FCAT 2.0 two-session tests: At the end of Session 1, students will exit the test on the Seal Code screen. Students will remain in the same session in PearsonAccess and must be resumed for Session 2. DO NOT MARK STUDENTS COMPLETE OR STOP THE SESSION IN PEARSONACCESS AFTER SESSION 1. For Session 2, give students the same authorization tickets and the seal code to sign back into the test (The only exception is if students are moved to a make-up session in PearsonAccess). Students submit their test at the end of Session 2.

  25. Stopping sessions • After all students have completed the test and submitted their responses, stop the session • Before stopping the session, make sure that: • All students in Ready status have been removed from the session. • All students in the session are in Completed or Marked Complete status. • If students are in Active, Exited, or Resumed status, manually mark those tests complete. If a test should not be scored, it must be invalidated once it is marked complete.
