After you download TestNav Desktop and ProctorCache, complete the following:

These ordered steps correspond to sections below or a related setup page. You can click each link to go directly to the corresponding processes.

1. Install TestNav Desktopusing the instructions below.

2. Run App Checkto verify system readiness.
3. Sign in to TestNavto ensure that it installed properly.

4. Set up ProctorCacheon proctor caching computer(s).

5. Set Up Response File Backups, and set up a Secondary Save Location.

6. Run an infrastructure trial.

Install TestNav Desktop

TestNav program files are saved in Applications/TestNav.

1. Double-click the .dmg file (for example, testnav-1.4.1.dmg) that youdownloaded. The TestNav install window appears.
   

2. Drag the TestNav icon into the Applications folder.

3. Eject the TestNav installer from Devices in the Finder sidebar. You can also eject it from the Desktop.
   

Mass Install

You can copy the TestNav application and push it to student computers for mass installation.

For macOS 10.14+, you must grant TestNav full privacy & accessibility control to administer secure tests. Click or tap System Preferences > Security& Privacy > Privacy. Scroll to Accessibility, and add or select TestNav.

• Disable Siri and/or Dictation services before attempting to sign in to TestNav.

• If you use computer restoration or imaging software (for example, Deep Freeze), exclude the Pearson directory and the logs directory, as these contain student backup files and logs for troubleshooting.

TestNav Desktop Updates

TestNav program file updates are saved in {user_home}/Library/Application Support/Pearson. You must give students write access to the update directory.

• Any necessary patch updates automatically install whenever TestNav starts or when a student attempts to log in. This ensures the update is implemented even if schools leave TestNav running over the course of a few days.
  You can also push the latest TestNav update, rather than waiting until each student opens TestNav. To push an update, take a snapshot of the Pearson folder, and push that folder to all student computers.
• Updates that require reinstallation are scheduled for winter and summer breaks.
• Pearson will communicate all updates with instructions in advance.

When you install TestNav Desktop, it creates the TestNav folder within the Pearson folder shown in the path above. The TestNav folder contains the following:

• The update file folder, named with the update version number (for example, 1.4.1)
• The default file, which stores the customer login preference for the next login

The login preference stored in the default file can change if you select a different customer from the Sign In page. You can set the default file to read-only to prevent students from overwriting it after you set your test preference.

If you encounter any issues during an update, you can find the errorlog folder within the update folder (for example: 1.4.1 > update > errorlog). The errorlog folder logs any issues TestNav may encounter when it attempts an update. You can also delete the Pearson folder to reset TestNav, clearing out any updates stored in that directory.

Run App Check

To run App Check:

1. Click or tap the appropriate icon for your test from the home page to go to the Sign In page.

2. Click or tap the user drop-down menu, and select App Check.

App Check (without optional Configuration Identifier)

On the App Check page:

1. Leave the configuration identifier field blank.

2. Click Run App Check.

You see green checkboxes for Kiosk Mode readiness and connectivity to TestNav, if the system passes. If one of these fails, you will see a Fail message and must check your connection and settings before running App Check again.

App Check (with optional Configuration Identifier)

If you have obtained a Configuration Identifier from your assessment management system:

1. Enter it in the Configuration Identifier field on the App Check page.

   The configuration identifier allows TestNav to also check connection to ProctorCache computers. If your assessment management system allows, this configuration ID may also check for blacklist compliance. See your assessment management system documentation for additional information.

   Nov 23, 2016  is for people who want to work on Windows. I need only the Internet Explorer. No, it is precisely for people who need to use one app like Internet Explorer because they have to deal with some government organization which is still stuck on that browser. But I have not tried it recently myself. Internet Explorer for Mac disappeared 10 years ago. The last version of Internet Explorer that worked on Mac was for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard which is now obsolete so don’t be fooled by any site that claims you can download it still. If you have any questions or problems accessing sites that will only work in Internet Explorer on your Mac, let us know in the comments below. Internet explorer for mac os high sierra.

2. Click Run App Check.

3. If ProctorCache connectivity (or blacklist compliance) fail, TestNav provides information for possible resolutions. Use this information to troubleshoot, and run App Check again.
   The screenshots below are examples of possible scenarios when running App Check with a configuration identifier.

Sign in to TestNav

1. Open TestNav from the Applications folder.

2. If you have not already done so, choose the appropriate icon for your test on the home page. If your test was selected before the test session, you see the Sign In page, rather than the home page.

   1. If you need to select a different test, click the user drop-down menu at the upper-right of the page, and click Choose a different customer.
      

   2. Click the appropriate icon for your test.
      

3. Start a test to ensure that you can do so without error.

• • If you see a Practice Tests link on the Sign in page, click Practice Tests and start a test.
  • If you do not see a Practice Tests link, use an authorization ticket from your student management system and start a test.

Set Up Response File Backups

TestNav has a default primary SRF save location for all computers and devices. Pearson strongly recommends setting a secondary save location for SRFs as a backup. For detailed information on saved response files (SRFs) and log files, see Understand SRFs and Log Files for Installable TestNav.

SFTP configuration is not supported by all assessment management systems. Consult your assessment management system user guide to determine whether the SFTP option is available.

Before testing, refer to your assessment management system user guide to configure TestNav and complete the following steps.

1. Configure primary and a secondary save location through your assessment management system.

2. Configure student accounts to have complete read, write, and delete access in these save locations.

3. Communicate SRF and log file locations to test proctors.

4. Give proctors access to SRF and log files by either of the following:

   • Grant admin rights to proctors on each testing computer.
     

   • Instruct proctors to access these files while the student is logged in to the testing computer.

Default Primary Save Location

Operating System	SRF Location	Log File Location
OS X	{USER_HOME}/Pearson/srf/	{USER_HOME}/Pearson/logs/

Pearson strongly recommends that you configure a network drive as a secondary save location to ensure that you do not lose responses, even if a student cannot continue to test on the same computer.

Secondary Save Location

You can set a secondary save location through your assessment management system. Set a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) address as the save location to ensure that the secondary save applies to all testing computers and devices.

Run an Infrastructure Trial

Pearson strongly recommends running an infrastructure trial to verify the technology setup is complete and to familiarize teachers and students with the test.

Use your training site through your assessment management system to complete the trial before the actual test day.

There are numerous ways that a thief can get into your Mac, including booting your system to another hard drive to bypass the security of the built-in operating system and access any file on disk, or simply booting to the OS X Recovery partition and using the password reset tools to change the password of an account on the system. While keychain information and other secured documents will be safe from such approaches, other non-secured files will still be accessible.

If you are concerned about theft, there are several ways you can ensure your Mac or at least the data on it are secured.

Filevault

Click this button in the Security & Privacy system preferences to enable FileVault (click image for larger view).

Perhaps the easiest way to ensure your Mac is secured is to enable Apple’s FileVault disk encryption routine. By encrypting your drive, you will scramble all information on it to anyone who does not have the password for unlocking the drive. As a result, if your computer is stolen and someone tries to remove the drive, or boot to another drive to bypass your OS X installation’s security, they will be met with a password prompt to access your hard drive. Even though they can format the drive and otherwise use your Mac’s hardware, they will not be able to access your data or programs.

You can enable FileVault by going to the FileVault tab of the Security & Privacy system preferences, and then clicking the button to Turn On Filevault (you may have to click the lock to authenticate first). When you do this, the system will take a few hours to complete encryption of your drive, after which it will be safe from anyone who does not have a password for it.

CoreStorage Encryption

Lockdown Mac Os X

Right-clicking a disk (including unencrypted disk images) in the OS X Finder offers options to encrypt it.

FileVault is great and convenient, but will only work for your system’s boot volume, and not for additional volumes you might use with your Mac. If you have external drives attached to your Mac, then consider using Apple’s CoreStorage encryption routines (the same ones used to set up FileVault) for these drives. To use this, the drives must use the GUID partitioning scheme and be formatted to Apple’s “Mac OS Extended” format, after which you can right-click them in the Finder and choose the option to encrypt the drive. After providing a password, the drive will be encrypted and then be secured from use on any system without the password.

Keep in mind that unlike FileVault, CoreStorage Encryption will have to be manually done on every drive you use with your Mac. Additionally, since it will only work with GUID drives formatted to Mac OS Extended (HFS+), it will not work with BootCamp partitions and other special partitions. For these, you will have to use the encryption routines in Windows and other operating systems you use.

Encrypted backups

Apple’s Time Machine feature in OS X is a great backup routine; however, being set-and-forget, it is easy to simply plug in a drive and have it be used to back up your Mac. Even if your Mac is set up with FileVault, unless the backup drive is also encrypted then data transferred to it will not be secured. Therefore, be sure your backups are also encrypted. When you initially set up Time Machine you can choose the option to encrypt the drive; however, if not then you should be able to encrypt the existing backups by right-clicking the drive and choosing the option to encrypt it, just as you would with CoreStorage Encryption on any external drive.

Firmware password

The firmware password utility should be in this menu (click image for larger view).

FileVault and CoreStorage Encryption will secure your data, but will not prevent people from resetting hardware components like PRAM, or booting to alternative hard drives, which can be used to format your drive. To prevent this, you can set your Mac’s firmware password which in effect locks the hardware from alternate uses. To do this, reboot your system and then hold down the Command-R keys at the boot chimes to start up in Recovery Mode. Then choose “Firmware Password Utility” from the utilities menu and use it to set your desired password.

Firmware passwords on Macs made before 2010 can be reset by altering the system’s hardware (e.g., changing the installed RAM); however, those after 2010 will require bringing the system to an Apple Store and having it serviced.

Account and screensaver passwords

Your Mac’s data is only as secure as the passwords you set up for it. Therefore, be sure to use a complex password for your user account, and also be sure to set up the system’s screensaver password. To change your password, go to the Users & Groups system preferences and click on your account, where you should see a button for changing your account’s password. To ensure your Mac’s screensaver password is set, go to the Security & Privacy system preferences and check the option to require a password immediately after sleep or screensaver begins. You can also change the current user’s password in these system preferences.

iCloud remote access

Enable both this and the Find My Mac iCloud services, to provide you with remote options for accessing, locking, and wiping your Mac if it is stolen (click image for larger view).

New Os For Mac

Another built-in service for ensuring your Mac is secure is to use Apple’s iCloud remote access services, and especially “Find My Mac,” which will allow you to remotely wipe your system or lock it down with a pin number. With a standard iCloud account enabled, you can simply check the Find My Mac service in the iCloud system preferences, and then use the Find My Mac section at iCloud.com, or using the Find My Mac app on an iOS device, to remotely lock or wipe your Mac if it is stolen. Granted for this to work the Mac will need to be connected to the internet; however, the remote wipe feature will queue up and activate whenever the Mac next connects to the internet.

Enable Apple ID two-step authentication

Apple IDs can be used for accessing your iCloud account, and subsequently may be used to access details about your Mac and even your Mac itself. Therefore, be sure your Apple ID is secured by not only using a robust password for it (and perhaps regularly changing this password), but also setting up Apple’s two-step authentication routine.

Mac Os X Download

In addition to your Apple ID, other online accounts you use may implement two-step authentication, so be sure to check with all services you use and implement these security features.

Third-party locks

Mac Os X Lion

The above features are perhaps the best for securing your Mac’s data; however, your Mac itself is a good $1000-$3000 investment, and having it be gone will be a chunk of change out of your pocket for a new one, and the inconvenience of going for a while without a system. Therefore, consider purchasing a locking device for your Mac. Unfortunately in many of its devices, Apple has begun phasing out the use of the classic Kensington lock hole for standard computer locking devices; however, there are a number of third-party solutions (such as those from MacLocks and other vendors) where you can use your Mac’s existing screw layouts to bolt on a low-profile locking system and better secure your hardware from theft.
