Use this preference to set the monitor password for your Star classes. The monitor password is required when you stop a Star test; using the Password Requirement preference, you can choose whether the password is also required before Star tests.
- After you select Monitor Password - Star Tests on the Preferences page, use the Schools
and Classes
drop-down lists to choose which classes to set the preference for.

- You can only select one school at a time; only the school(s) available to you will be shown in the list. (If you only have access to one school, you will not need to select it.)
- All of the classes and groups you have access to will be shown in the Classes list. You can check them one at a time, or you can choose Select All at the bottom to check/uncheck all of the classes or groups at once. (If you only have access to one class or group, you will not need to select it.)
-
For each class or group, enter the monitor password that you want to use
. The same password will apply to all types of Star tests (not including Star Custom). Note: Monitor passwords are now case-sensitive, so be sure to use the same capitalization that you expect your teachers to use (for example, MonitorPW is different from monitorpw).

-
When you have finished making your changes, select Save Changes
to save them (you will see a confirmation message once your changes have been saved). You can also select Undo Changes
to undo your changes to the preference setting.
-
Select Back
at the top of the page to return to the Preferences page when you are done.
