TestNav System Requirements for 2020–2021
In preparation for MCAS testing during the 2020–2021 school year, Pearson, the testing subcontractor, has adopted a new technology support policy for device operating system (OS) updates. The new policy aligns TestNav system requirements with manufacturer-supported OSs and devices. Because manufacturer development cycles vary and release details are not final until close to release dates, Pearson will base their support for OSs and devices on manufacturer support as of July 15. Technology staff should evaluate manufacturer support as of July 15 to determine technology planning for each upcoming school year. A list of Chrome OS devices and their expiration dates can be found at Manage policies for Chrome devices: Auto Update policy. Please refer to Pearson's TestNav System Requirement Policy and TestNav System Requirements for more information.
