 Introduction to TestNav 8: MULTIPLE-CHOICE/TEI Document
The Introduction to TestNav 8: Multiple-Choice/Technology-Enhanced Item Tests document
located on the Virginia Department of Education SOL Practice Items webpage serves as an
introduction to the online navigation, tools, accessibility features, and overall functionality and
appearance of TestNav 8. It is highly recommended that teachers (or other adults) read the
Introduction to TestNav 8: MC/TEI document prior to reading this guide, the Guided Practice
Suggestions for the Mathematics practice item sets.

Reading the Introduction to TestNav 8: MC/TEI document will give teachers an understanding of
the features of TestNav 8 prior to working with students. In part, the document provides
information on:

 opening the practice item sets within the required TestNav 8 Application,
 navigating through the practice item sets,
 answering technology-enhanced items (TEI) and multiple-choice items,
 using the online tools, and
 using the accessibility features available in TestNav 8.

Use the Introduction to TestNav 8: Multiple-Choice/Technology Enhanced Item Tests document

in conjunction with the information found in this guide.

Guided Practice Suggestions

This guide provides specific information for each question in the mathematics practice items.
Along with the item information, there are guided practice suggestions in the Functionality
Description column of the table. This column contains information for teachers as they guide
students through the practice items. For instance, guided practice suggestions can state, “Make
sure students know how to select draggers and place them in the empty boxes using the mouse,
keypad, or touchscreen.” Following the suggestions in the table will ensure that students are
exposed to all of the different tools within TestNav 8, the different functionality features of TEI,
and the common messages that may appear as students complete TEI.

Online Tools, Features, Icons, and Descriptions of Function

Tools Located on the Tool Bar

 Pointer
Use to select an answer on screen as well as to place the cursor in an answer box, plot points,
select one or more answers, and drag information from one location to another.

 Answer Eliminator

Use to eliminate (cross off) answer options. This tool functions with multiple-choice
questions and certain TEIs.

These tools may not be used in conjunction with another tool. The end points of the tool
allow the tool to be rotated.

o Inch Ruler

Use to measure an object on the screen.

o Centimeter Ruler

Use to measure an object on the screen.

o Protractor

Use to measure an angle.

o Straightedge

Use to create a straight line. To stretch or shrink the line, click and drag one of the
end points.

o Desmos Calculator

Use for mathematical calculations and graphical representations.

 Grades 4 and 5 - Desmos Virginia Four-Function calculator for calculator
active items.
 Grades 6-8 - Desmos Virginia Scientific calculator for calculator active items,
 End-of-Course (EOC) mathematics - Desmos Virginia Graphing calculator
  For additional information on Desmos, please refer to the Desmos Online
Calculator web page on the Virginia Department of Education website.

Tools Not Located on the Tool Bar.

 Highlighter

Use to highlight text.

To access the highlighter, select the text and the highlighter options will appear.
Choose a color and the selected text will be highlighted. To remove the highlight,
select the highlighted text and choose the red slash. The colors will vary depending on
the background chosen. Default colors are pink and blue.

Students cannot highlight art, pictures, images, or text when presented as art. There is
no limit to the number of highlights a student can make within the test.

 Exhibit Window

Use to view exhibits such as Formula Sheets and z-tables.

Located on the right-hand side of the screen

 Drawing Interaction Tool

Used to interact with an item. This tool is a boxed area around part of an item that exists
on certain mathematics and science questions. The tools are located to the right of the
drawing interaction area. The individual tools are:

 Pencil or straight line

Use to make marks, notations, straight lines, or dots on or around artwork or graphs
inside the drawing interaction area.
 The arrow in the bottom right corner expands the tool to allow for free draw or a
straight line. A dot may be placed using the mouse, keypad, or touch screen. Select
free draw and use the mouse or keypad to click and release to place a point. If using a
touch screen, use a finger to place a point.
 Compass
Use to create a construction.
The solid black dot, which is the compass point, is used to move the compass to a
desired location. Use the middle gray circle to lengthen or shorten the drawing radius.
The dashed circle indicates the length of the drawing radius. The length of the
drawing radius will not change unless the middle gray circle is selected. The small
open circle on the arrow is the compass pencil. This will be used to draw the arcs. To
move the compass after beginning a construction, use the compass point, not the
middle gray circle.

 Eraser

Use to erase selected lines, markings, or writing.

 Color Selector

Use to make markings black or green. The arrow in the bottom right corner expands
the tool to allow a color selection.

 Mark Thickness

Use to select the thickness of the markings. The arrow in the bottom right corner expands
the tool to allow a size selection.
 Undo or Redo

Use to remove the most recent markings.

 Clear All

Use to eliminate all markings at the same time

 User Dropdown Menu

 Change the Background and Foreground Colors

Use to select background and colors. The list of background and foreground colors is
shown in the screen shot below.
 Note: Black on White is the Default setting.
 Enable Magnifier
Use to magnify an area. When selected, a square box appears on the screen that can be
moved anywhere to magnify the text/art within the box. This tool needs to be selected for
each test item as needed. To remove the tool from the screen, select Disable Magnifier in
the user dropdown menu. The way it will appear on the screen is shown below.

 Show Line Reader Mask

Use to “mask” part of an item. When selected, a mask will appear on the screen that may
be placed over text or test items. The line reader mask has a window, which shows
only one line of text. The mask and the window can be resized by clicking and dragging on the
three lines located in the bottom right-hand corner of the inner and outer boxes of the tool. This tool
needs to be selected for each test item as needed. To remove the tool from the screen,
select Hide Line Reader Mask in the user dropdown menu. A screenshot of the line reader
mask is shown.

 Enable Answer Masking

 Use to mask answer options. By selecting this tool, a mask will appear over all multiple
choice answer options. (this feature is not available on TEI questions). To uncover an
answer choice, select the gray box with the image of an eye. Once this tool is enabled, the
answer masks will be present on all multiple-choice questions. To remove the tool from
the screen, select Disable Answer Masking in the user dropdown menu. A screenshot of
answer masking enabled is shown.

 Zoom-In and Zoom-Out Feature

Use to enlarge or shrink text or images on the screen. Selecting “+” increases the zoom.
Selecting “–” decreases the zoom. Other methods can activate Zoom depending on the
device (keyboard shortcuts, pinch to zoom, etc.). Once zoom is set, this setting applies to
all test items until it is changed.

 Sign out of TestNav

Use to exit the test. Selecting this will bring up the Exit Test screen. The Exit Test screen
permits the student to Exit the Test, or to Cancel the selection and return to the test.

Tool to Answer an Item

TestNav tools cannot be used to indicate answers to online test items. The Pointer must
be used to:
1. select multiple-choice answers;
2. place the cursor in a box in order to type an answer;
3. plot points on a line, graph, or graphic;
4. select one or more answers; or
5. drag answers from one location to another.

If the student uses a tool other than the Pointer to indicate an answer, the Review dropdown will
show that question as Not Answered. If a student feels the question was answered, instruct the
student to go back to the test item to make sure the Pointer was used to indicate the answer.

A Help menu for the TestNav tools is not available.

Additional Tools

Audio Tools
Students who are assigned an “audio” test for the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning will
see the audio tools for the text-to-speech reader on the right side of the screen.
