Every year in the Fall when we go to start our test session the NWEA site doesn't work. This is frustrating at our Elementary level for many reasons. One reason is that there is a lot of planning that goes into our day and mentally preparing some of our students who may have test anxiety. So my suggestion to solve this issue is to have practice sessions on the NWEA end to make sure all the bugs are worked out prior to August 15th. This will definitely alleviate the stress on all of us on the educator side and I can imagine that it would on the NWEA side as well.
