In Mastery Connect, you can deliver a Mastery View Predictive Assessment benchmark to students at the Mastery Connect testing website, student.masteryconnect.com.
Notes:
- Students who are manually added to the roster in a tracker can not access the student portal.
- To complete an assessment in their web browser, students must have an active test ID and know their student ID numbers.
- If your district uses Clever, students can log in there to take the assessment in the Student Portal.
