Computer User Accounts for TestingĪs a best practice, create a dedicated computer user account for use during MAP Growth testing and apply the following account settings.

However, there may be optional upgrades available mid-year to support new versions of operating systems or browsers. Update Frequency-If updates are required for the NWEA browsers, they typically occur during summer, ahead of the standard school year. However, you can install or distribute the browser over the network. Do not run it from a server, because testing will be too slow.

Network-The secure browser should run on each computer locally. You will download the browser from NWEA, and then install or distribute it to each computer. This browser restricts access to outside resources.

To ensure security during MAP Growth testing, students on Windows or Mac desktops use a secure browser from NWEA.
