Set Up Test Day Toolkit for SAT Suite

If you're participating in state-provided testing, complete the steps below when you get an email telling you Test Day Toolkit is ready for your administrations of the SAT Suite of Assessments.

Instructions

1. Sign in to Test Day Toolkit with your College Board account.
   • Click the link in the access email we send you and follow the onscreen instructions.
2. Add returning staff to an upcoming administration.
   • Navigate to the Staff page.
   • Click Select Returning staff from the Add Staff dropdown menu.
   • Check the boxes next to staff names.
   • Click Add Selected Staff.
3. Update contact details for returning staff, if necessary.
   • Find a staff name on the Staff page.
   • Select Edit Staff in the Actions column.
   • Enter changes and click Update Staff.
4. Add new staff to Test Day Toolkit.
   • Important: Do this as soon as possible so there’s time to resolve any staff access issues before test day.
   • Navigate to the Staff page.
   • Choose an option from the Add Staff dropdown menu. Get help choosing.
   • To add new staff in bulk, click Upload file and follow the instructions for downloading the template, completing it, and uploading it.
   • To add new staff details directly in to Test Day Toolkit, click Add to table and complete a row for each new staff member.
   • We'll send access emails to all staff and use the contact details you provide for 2-step verification.
   • As part of 2-step verification, we send staff a code that expires after 3 minutes. Mobile numbers make first-time access easier, but are not required for 2-step verification. Your work email address may be used.
5. Review your roster for missing students or incorrect data.
   • Navigate to the All Students page to view your roster.
   • Follow your state's instructions if students are missing or you find errors.
6. Add testing rooms.
   • Navigate to All Rooms.
   • To use rooms from another administration, select Reuse rooms from the Add Rooms dropdown menu, choose an administration, and click Save.
   • To add new rooms, select Create new rooms from the Add Rooms dropdown menu, use the table to name each room, and give it a seating capacity.
   • Important: If you're testing in the same physical room multiple times, you must add a room in Test Day Toolkit for each session to create unique student rosters.
   • If any students have accommodations that require testing over multiple days, add a separate room in Test Day Toolkit for each day of testing, even if you plan to use the same space. Get complete instructions in the accommodations guide included in the Test Coordinator Manual.
   • To give each room a unique name, add the month and day after the room name. If necessary, add the time, too, using letters and numbers only. For example, create rooms called "Cafeteria Oct 6 AM" and "Cafeteria Oct 6 PM" if you’re using the cafeteria to test one group in the morning and another group in the afternoon. Do not use accommodations in room names.
7. Recommended: Add a late room.
   • If possible, reserve a room for students who arrive at their assigned room after the proctor reads the script.
   • Note: If you preassign students to rooms in Test Day Toolkit, you or your staff will need to reassign late students before they enter a room code in Bluebook.
8. Optional: Assign students to rooms.
   • On the All Students page, filter or sort your roster by students without room assignments.
   • Use other filter and sort options—such as grade and accommodation group type—to list only students who belong in the same room. Get student room assignment tips.
   • Select multiple students and use the Action dropdown menu to move them to rooms in bulk.
   • The Test Coordinator Manual and the accommodations guide within the manual have more information about testing groups and room assignments.
   • To seat different testing groups in the same room, skip this step and simply instruct students to sit in the selected room. The toolkit will create a room roster on test day when students enter the room code their proctor gives them. Tip: After you assign students to rooms, you can export room assignments by navigating to Downloads.
9. Check room assignments of students approved for small-group testing.
   • On the All Students page, use the keyword search or filter to find students with those accommodations.
   • Assign students approved for small-group testing to rooms with 15 seats or fewer.
   • Assign each student approved for one-to-one testing to their own room.
10. Assign staff to roles and rooms.
    • Assign 1 proctor to each room.
    • Only 1 proctor can be assigned to a room, but anyone with access can use Test Day Toolkit to complete proctor activities in any room.
    • Proctors can be assigned to only 1 room at a time per test administration. If someone is proctoring multiple times during the testing window, assign them to a new room after each session.
    • Assign hall and room monitors as needed to meet required staffing ratios.
    • Assign 1 or more technology monitors.
    • Don't assign technology or hall monitors to a room.
    • Optional: Give a colleague the coordinator role so they can help you manage staff and rooms. Learn more about secondary coordinators.
11. When you're ready, print student sign-in tickets.
    • Click Bluebook Sign-In Tickets and Data Export on the Test Day Toolkit homepage.
    • On the Print Tickets tab, select a print option. Choose between alphabetical or by room (if students are assigned to rooms in the toolkit).
    • Select to print 1, 2, or 4 tickets per page.
    • Click Print Tickets.
