An unfinished test can be resumed if the test was interrupted in one of the following ways:
- If the test was intentionally paused by the teacher or classroom assistant.
- If the student lost connection to the server or accidentally closed the browser during the test.
- Start the web browser and go to the Renaissance Place address (URL).
- On the Welcome page, click I am a Student.
- The student enters his or her user name and password, and then clicks Log In.
- On the Home page, the student clicks Star Reading.
- The student will see a message on the Star Reading Student page reminding the student that he or she has an unfinished test.
- The teacher or classroom assistant should enter the authorisation password and click Start .
- A message will confirm that the test is resuming, and then the student can finish taking the test.
Notes:
- An unfinished test can only be resumed within eight calendar days of its original starting date.
- A test can be paused and resumed repeatedly. When a test is resumed, the student returns to the same place in the test where the student left off (the same question number), but a different problem will be presented. This is done to prevent pausing the test in order to give a student more time to work on a problem.
Example: Lisa is taking a Star Reading test. She is on question 12 when she begins to feel ill. The teacher pauses the test and sends Lisa home. When Lisa comes back the next day, the teacher resumes the test. She continues the test, starting on question 12 where she left off, but question 12 is no longer the same question she saw the previous day; it has changed to a new question.
