Judy, Greg and I spent an hour going over the test booklet, CD, and AP Test functions. The basic functions below apply, but there are some things to be aware of. I'll post these in-line below where appropriate.

AP testing How-to

• 1) Choose AP Test under the Testing menu.
• 2) Place all participating machines in a group. If this is not done the machines NOT participating will cause the next step to fail.
• 3) Under the "Student ID" section of the UI press "Start" to make the system aware of the participating students.
• 4) Students then enter their AP ID number using the bookmark butons in the Sanako player.
• 5) When the students are done click on "Stop" under the "Student ID" section of the UI.
• 6) Press "Sample" under the "Student ID" section of the UI to test playback.
• 7) If students hear the file press "Record" and have the students speak a few words to test the recording functionality.
• 8) Press "Replay" to let students listen to their "dry run". If they hear their recording press "Record" again to stop the dry run.
• 9) Queue the CD to the desired track. Play the track for the students so they can hear the taped instructions and do the TWO practice runs (not to be recorded). The entire Instructions/Practice takes approximately 4.5 minutes. Pause the Master track if necessary so teachers can field questions.
• 10) Once instructed to "begin recording", press "Start" under the "Exam" section of the UI to begin the test. Check to make sure master track is still runing.
• 11) Pause student recording when instructed to "stop recording". Master track continues to run.
• 12) When instructed to "begin recording" again, unpause the student recording. Keep in mind that unpausing the student recording (for some reason) pauses the Master track. Hit "play" on the master track so students can hear the questions and record themselves.
• 13) When the test is over press collect and follow the onscreen instructions.
