6 Section I. Completion Status Overview User Roles and Access Section I. Completion Status Overview The Completion Status interface is the primary means of viewing test status and completion data for students taking part in the 2015 CAASPP test administration in English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. The completion data provided enable users to determine which students have completed or need to complete testing. Please note that this interface does not provide users with score reports, test performance data, or accountability reports. User Roles and Access The Completion Status system operates in a secure, role-based structure. Your access to reports and data in the system depends upon your user role in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS), as well as your school- and/or LEA-level associations. Table 2 describes the reports and features that are accessible for each user role. Users in all user roles can access two report types: the Plan and Manage Testing Report and the Test Completion Rates Report. Warning: School-level users cannot view LEA-level data. For example, a CAASPP Test Site Coordinator may view only test data for students within his or her school. Switching Between CAASPP Systems Using Single Sign-On All CAASPP test management and administration systems, including the Completion Status system, use the integrated Single Sign-On (SSO) system that allows you to log on to multiple systems provided by Educational Testing Service and the American Institutes for Research, and then access all available applications without having to log on to each one separately. SSO is designed to ease the logon process and simplify navigation between systems. The applications it serves include: Test Operations Management System (TOMS) Test Administrator (TA) Interface TA Practice and Training Test Site Completion Status Interim Assessment Hand Scoring System Note: Access to each system and its features is dependent on the access provided by your user role CAASPP Completion Status User Guide March 2015

No additional action can be taken by the student. The student s opportunity has not been completed and cannot be resumed because the test opportunity has expired. The test result has been invalidated. The student s test is currently paused. The following scenarios will result in a paused status: The student pauses his or her test by selecting the [Pause] button. The student has been idle longer than 20 minutes and the test was paused. The Test Administrator pauses the student s test. The Test Administrator stops the session. A technical problem with the student s computer or browser has resulted in a loss of connectivity to the test delivery system. The time listed with this status indicates how long the student s test has been in the pause status. The student is awaiting TA approval for a new test opportunity. For the spring 2015 CAASPP assessments, one opportunity is available for a student per Summative test and two per Interim test. The student s score for the completed test has been submitted to the Smarter Balanced online report system (but results are not available). The test delivery system has processed the student s responses to items on the test. Note: Additional processing occurs prior to reporting of results. The Completion Status interface does not provide student scores, only data on completion rates. The student has started the test and is actively testing. The test has been submitted for quality assurance review and validation before scores can be released. A quality assurance engine examines submitted tests for a number of statistical elements before they are reported, including reviews for scoring errors. The student is awaiting TA approval to resume a test opportunity CAASPP Completion Status User Guide March 2015
