Computer Based Test Requirements
1:1 Devices and Testing
Students must come to computer based tests with their 1:1 or BYOT device charged and ready to use to test. PERT does not require anything specific to be installed. For the FAST (ELA 9 and 10) and EOC tests (Biology, US History, Algebra, and Geometry), you must have the secure browser installed. Please follow these directions:
For Personal BYOT Laptops
For a personal device that is not owned by the school, visit fsassessments.org/secure-browsers.html and install the browser. You will see the icon on your screen that will allow you to login once it is installed. If you are unable to install the testing software on your device for any reason, you will need to check out a 1:1 device in advance of testing.
For School 1:1 Laptops
- Go to the windows start menu in the bottom left corner and select "Company Portal" (or search for it in the search bar in the bottom left).
- Select "Apps" on the left
- Search for FLSecureBrowser and click on it
- Click Install. The app will be marked installed when complete.
- Locate the shortcut on your desktop and click it to open it to make sure it works.
