New Feature - Save an Incomplete Test

Monday, May 12th, 2008

We are proud to announce that the most popularly requested improvement to the site over the past three years is now up and operational.  We spent a lot of time trying to figure out the simplest way to implement this new feature.  Now, if students are not finished with a test, they will see a link at the bottom of the test, “Save for Me to Complete Later”.  Their name along with a randomly generated test code will allow them to finish their test up to 30 days later. 

Watch a demo movie.

Diagnostic Test Problems

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Due to our server upgrade over the past weekend, the site is experiencing some technical difficulties. Specifically we are noticing a problem with our diagnostic tests.  

We are currently working around the clock to correct this.  Our biggest challenge is, it is not happening on all networks.  There appears to be a conflict with our code and some school networks.

Again, we offer our sincere apologies if your school is experiencing problems.
