- Thread-topic: updates on iPads and TestNav 8 testing?
Hi Roger-
We've successfully run CMAS testing on 120 iPads in four classrooms at our high school yesterday and today. Our biggest issue has been that the TestNav app freezes up on occasion and doesn't allow the student to progress to the next test question. We also discovered during the first day of testing that about half of the student's keyboards stopped working on the same test question. In both cases, taking the iPad out of Guided Access, quitting and re-launching TestNav, and putting the iPads back in Guided Access resolved the issue.
We knew from running practice tests that the TestNav app would freeze on occasion, so we abandoned our original plan of using our MDM (JAMF's Casper Suite) to push out a configuration profile locking the iPads into single app mode, and instead decided to manually put the devices into Guided Access. While this required more work on our side, it allows the test administrators to re-launch TestNav without waiting for our MDM and APNS to remove/re-add the configuration profiles.
Thanks!

Anyone have any updates on how iPads are performing on the state tests?
