Resuming an Interrupted Test

An unfinished test can be resumed if the test was interrupted in one of the following ways:

• If the teacher or test monitor intentionally paused the test.
• If the student lost connection to the server or accidentally closed the browser during the test.
• If the test ended due to an idle time out (a long span of time without any interaction from the student).

1. Start the web browser and go to the Renaissance address (URL).
2. On the Welcome page, select I'm a Student.
3. The student enters his or her username and password, and then selects Log In.
4. On the Home page, the student selects Star Math.
5. The student will see a message on the Star Math Student page reminding the student that he or she has an unfinished test. The teacher or test monitor should enter the monitor password and select Start.
   
   
6. A message will confirm that the test is resuming, and then the student can finish taking the test.
   
   

Notes:

• An unfinished test can only be resumed within eight calendar days (192 hours) of its original starting date and time.
• A test can be paused and resumed repeatedly. When a test is resumed, the student returns to the same place in the test where the student left off (the same question number), but a different question will be presented. This is done to prevent pausing the test in order to give a student more time to work on a problem.
  
  Example: On a Thursday afternoon, Lisa is taking a Star Math test. She is on question 12 (a story problem) when she begins to feel ill. The teacher pauses the test and sends Lisa home. Lisa does not return to school until Monday; when she comes back, the teacher resumes the test. She continues the test, starting on question 12 where she left off, but question 12 is no longer the story problem she saw last Thursday; it has changed to a multiplication problem.
