As the district test coordinator, you're responsible for the following tasks:

• Order tests for your schools. Select your testing start date, select grades of student testing, and order test quantities for each school.
• Reach out to your schools and have them review the order placed for completeness in SSOR. They may need to provide additional information to complete the order (i.e. school Testing Coordinator contact information).
• Upload student registration data in SSOR for your schools. IMPORTANT: This is required if you indicate on your district order that the district will upload student registration data.
• Reach out to school staff to review and validate the uploaded student registration data, including testing accommodations, in SSOR and register students to test. IMPORTANT: Uploading student registration data does not register them to test.

The school validates and registers students for testing The school's test coordinator should confirm all students who intend to test have accurate records in the registration roster in SSOR. After student records have been validated, each student who will be testing should be registered in SSOR. Registered students' information will appear in TDTK within 2-3 business days. IMPORTANT: Schools should carefully check the accuracy of student data prior to registration. After registration, student records will be locked for testing. Any changes (i.e. name misspelling or incorrect grade) will need to be managed by deleting the record in SSOR and re-adding the corrected record manually. Any post-registration activities completed in TDTK for that student will need to be completed again. The school's SSD coordinator should confirm that approved College Board testing accommodations are associated to those students that need them in SSOR. They can use SSOR to waive or append missing approved accommodations as needed. They should complete this task prior to the school's test coordinator registering them, however, accommodations can be updated after the student is registered (these updates however may take up to 2 business days to be reflected in TDTK).

Help coordinators prepare for accommodated testing. Learn about accommodations for digital testing. Ensure that your school or district technology staff has made shared testing devices available for the Digital Readiness Check with Bluebook installed on each one. Remind school staff to complete their required training and begin reading the manuals and guides.
