Test Coordinator

The test coordinator is responsible for validating the student data uploaded by their school and/or district's data coordinator for registration. Test coordinators will be granted access by their organization's SSOR access manager. Test coordinators will review the data uploaded and have the ability to view, validate, and update records in SSOR. School test coordinators will also work with their school's SSD coordinator to ensure students who require accommodations have them appended to their record in SSOR. Once data and accommodations validation is complete, the test coordinator will register the student in SSOR. Once registered, students will appear in Test Day Toolkit in one business day.

The test coordinator must be at the school to supervise all activities related to the test administration. If your school is testing fewer than 35 students in the same room, the test coordinator can take on one additional role by also serving as the proctor, monitor, or technology monitor. If the coordinator will be proctoring the room, a separate hall monitor needs to be recruited so two staff members are present on test day.

Your Test Coordinator Manual contains detailed "Test Coordinator Checklist" and "Test Coordinator Planning" chapters with all of the approaching milestones to help you stay on track and be prepared for test day.

SAT Suite Registration Role

After a student registration data file is submitted in SSOR, data can only be updated by the SAT Suite registration role(s). This should be the test coordinator at the school and district and the SSD coordinator. The data coordinator should notify the staff assigned the registration role when data are submitted so they can validate and register students.

Staff with this role can view, validate, and update the data submitted to the SSOR registration roster. District staff with this role will be able to access a district-level roster for each test with consolidated student data from all their schools.

Important: This role needs to be someone who knows the students and can validate that their data, including any accommodations, are accurate. More than one person can be assigned to this role.
