Smarter Balanced Test Session How-to Video
This optional training video helps familiarize test administrators with using the TA Interface of OSAS Online to set up and manage a Smarter Balanced test session, as well as with the Student Interface. Using the practice tests available through the OSAS Portal, this video walks the TA through the process of setting up a test session and shows what students will see as they take the Smarter Balanced English language arts computer adaptive test (ELA CAT), ELA performance task (ELA PT), math CAT, and math PT. This video also introduces the TA to assigning available accessibility supports to individual students through the TA interface and demonstrates how students will use each of those supports when testing.
