### Student Login URL

Locate your district’s **Student Login URL**, which students will use to access the Student Testing Portal. We recommend that districts save this as a bookmark for students if possible. Students will log in with their local **Student ID** number and password.

There are three ways a system administrator or teacher can set a student password:

- By accessing the **General**tab in the student’s profile;
- By importing a **CSV** file from the **Roster**tab in **Management**; and
- By clicking **Set Default Password** under **Manage Schools** in **Management** as a system administrator, which will give all students for that school the same password.

### AI Scoring

Test Authors with Aware Premium can [activate AI Scoring](/v1/docs/using-ai-scoring-administrator#controlling-access-to-ai-scoring) on individual assessments.

## **Before Implementing Online Testing**

Eduphoria strongly recommends that districts click **Preview Online Testing** on the **Online** tab during assessment creation before administering an online test. In addition, keep in mind the following points:

- The preferred browser for online testing is **Chrome**.
- Eduphoria officially supports online testing using desktops, laptops, iPads, and Chromebooks.
- Test authors should ensure they test on the same type of computer (Mac, PC, Chromebook, etc.) with the same operating system (iOS, Windows, etc.) using the most updated browser version your students will use during online testing.
- Test authors should confirm that all images, resources, and multimedia files function correctly.

Comma-Separated Values, a file format used for importing and exporting data, particularly in educational assessments. Spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets are commonly used to read and edit CSV files.
