In order to change the assessment for a registration, the test must be in a Not Started status. An assessment cannot be changed if the test is In Progress or Completed status.
- Select Test Management from the WIDA AMS My Applications menu.
- Confirm or enter your site criteria in the upper right corner. Select Save.
- Confirm or select your Registration Window in the drop-down. Make sure to select the correct year.
- From View Registration(s), locate the registration you wish to edit. You can use filters to narrow your search.
- Select the checkbox next to the Registration Name.
- Select the Change Assessment button on the top right of the results table.
- The Change Assessment(s) window will display where you can select the assessment you want to change it to.
Note:- For the Screener administration, the Change Assessment feature can be used to update a registration to an assessment that is one grade level below the current grade-level cluster. For example, if the registration for a student in grade 4 was originally for Screener Grade 4-5, the registration could be updated to Screener Grade 2-3.
- View the WIDA Screener Online Test Administration Manual for more information on changing a student’s grade-level cluster.
- For the ACCESS administration, a registration can only be updated to an assessment within the same grade-level cluster. For example, if the registration was originally for Writing Grade 4-5 it cannot be updated to Writing HW for Grade 4-5. The registration cannot be updated to a new grade-level cluster.
- Select the checkbox next to the Assessment Name you want to change.
- Select Change.
- A message will display indicating the number of student registrations that were changed. If a student’s registration was not updated, the student’s registration was in an In Progress or Completed status, or the assessment chosen was invalid based on that student’s grade or other registrations.
