CBT Weekly Update Call, 5/18/18

1. CBT field tests will be available for students to access beginning on Monday morning at 7:00 am.
2. We sent a CBT field testing “care package” email last night to all CBT field testing principals.
   • After sending out the email about the login tickets issue earlier this week, we received a lot of email from schools who had no information about CBT field testing.
   • Kiara has also been working on an article on CBT Support that will function as an introduction to CBT for those schools who are very new to CBT.
3. LASR Team: I will work on LASR Team assignments this afternoon—please do send me any suggestions you may have.
4. The CBT field testing Teacher’s Directions should have already arrived at schools, and we have also provided links in CBT Quick Links:
   • 2018 CBT Field Testing English Language Arts Teacher's Directions
   • 2018 CBT Field Testing Mathematics Teacher’s Directions
5. We are really looking forward to the Drawing Tool rollout! Please do share any feedback you hear from educators and students who may have been reviewing the Drawing Tool in the practice tests.
   • The video for how to use the Drawing Tool was released this week on CBT Support.
6. Yesterday, we hosted the webinar for Lessons Learned from Operational CBT for Our CBT Stand-Alone Field Testing (SAFT) Schools, and we offered some new tips!
   • Slides are online now
   • Video will be posted later today
     • The Proctor PIN and Access Code: same UI on Nextera Test Delivery System
     • Review Screen and any keystrokes in a CR box: a space in a CR box, for instance, will show up as an “answered” question on the Review Screen.
