Download Student Login Details

Each student will need their student login details to log into the Test Lobby to complete the tests that have been allocated to them.

Rather than using usernames, email addresses or passwords to log into the Test Lobby, students will need to use a unique 8-digit Access Code.

Student login details include the following information about each student:

• Name - The student's name.

• Student Access Code - A unique 8-digit code that is automatically generated for each student and sitting. You can view student access codes on the Sitting Progress page for a specific sitting. If required, you can redownload the access codes as a CSV/PDF file on the Sittings page.

• Sitting Name - The name of the sitting.

• Date - The earliest date and time at which the test can begin. This is the 'From date' and time of the Test Start Period.

• Test(s) - The name(s) of the test(s) which the student will be completing.

• URL - The web address where students can log into the Test Lobby.

Once you have created a sitting, you can download, save or print a PDF or CSV file containing the student login details for all the students in that sitting. The PDF file is created in A4 landscape format and contains multiple student login details on each page. If you print the student login details, you can then divide the A4 sheet into sections and distribute the login details to each individual student. The CSV file contains the access codes and student details in a table format.

After a student has received their student login details, the Test Start Period has begun. The test has therefore started in Testwise (automatically or manually) and the student can log into the Test Lobby, click the Start Test button and begin answering questions. 

Note: You can only download student access details for sittings that have a 'Live' status. You cannot download student access details for sittings where the status is 'Draft', 'Expired', 'Closed' or 'Completed'.

1. Click Sittings  on the Testwise home screen. All existing sittings are displayed within the Sittings list.

2. Find the sitting that contains the student login details that you want to download and distribute.

Note: If required, use the Search Bar to help find a specific sitting.

3. Click Download Access Code(s) displayed next to the sitting name in the 'Action' column. You can select whether to download the access codes in either PDF or CSV format.

Note: If not immediately visible, click the 'ellipsis' to reveal all available functions for a sitting. Select Download Access Code(s).

4. If the Download Access Code(s) PDF is selected, a pop-up will appear. Use this to determine the sorting order of the access codes.

   Sorting options include:

• Group, then by Surname

• Year, then by Surname

• Surname

• Forename

5. Click Download to proceed with the download of the access code(s) in PDF format.

6. If you have downloaded the access code(s) in the CSV format, the file will be automatically saved to your device. Downloading the access codes as a CSV file will display the student login details in table format.

7. You can either save this file, if you have not already done so, or print it.

8. You can now distribute the access codes to the student(s) where they can begin completing their assigned sitting.

Since the method of distributing access codes to students is not automated by the system, you can choose your own method of distribution. Ways to distribute access codes include:

• Printing a copy of the CSV/PDF file and giving each student a physical copy of their access code.

• Emailing each student their access code.

• Entering the access code into the platform on behalf of the student.

Notes:

• Students MUST have the correct access codes to begin their test. Failure to enter the access code accurately will result in delays or an inability to begin the test.

• Students MUST use the specific code assigned to their name. If students use each other's access codes, the results will be invalid for those students' profiles.
