Each test is comprised of 40 items. The Kindergarten to Grade 2 tests are each 30 minutes, plus 5-10 minutes of instruction. The Grade 3-9 tests are each 35 minutes, plus 5-10 minutes of instruction.

Test Administrators should follow one of the three login methods outlined below. Consult the Assessment Coordinator prior to test day to confirm the appropriate login method previously arranged.

1. Test Plan PDF: Manual Access Code Login

   To begin, all students should open the test website on their devices if the site is not already launched. Next, provide each student with their assigned test access code (these codes need to be printed out and ready to be distributed to each student before testing begins). It is imperative that the correct login information be provided to each student.

   • If the test website link (https://testaccess.mhs.com/) has been bookmarked on their devices, direct the students to open the link in the browser (Chrome is recommended). If the students are manually entering the test website link, tell them to enter the link into the browser (the link should be displayed at the front of the room). Once the test website is open on all devices, students will view the Log-in Screen.
   • Tell the students to enter their assigned access code. For younger students, the Test Administrator should open the link and enter the log-in information for them.
2. Test Plan PDF: QR Code Login

   Provide each student with their assigned test access QR code (these codes need to be printed out and ready to be distributed to each student before testing begins). It is imperative that the correct login information be provided to each student.

   • Direct the students to access their unique test link by scanning their own QR code with the device they will be using to complete the test. Scanning the code will open the test link in a browser (Chrome is recommended). Once the QR code is accessed, students will view their assigned test (e.g., the Nonverbal test).
   • For younger students, the Test Administrator should assist students with scanning the QR code to open the link for them.
3. Direct SSO Access

   Direct each student to log in to their district provided portal (e.g., ClassLink or Clever). It is imperative that the correct login information be used by each student.

   • Students can access their unique test link by navigating to the MGI Student App located on their district dashboard. Once the app is accessed, students will view their assigned test (e.g., the Nonverbal test).
   • For younger students, the Test Administrator should help students with their portal login and app access.

The Test Administrator is the individual who will proctor the Naglieri General Ability Tests. Professionals most likely to serve in the role of a Test Administrator include classroom teachers, teachers of gifted and talented students, gifted and talented coordinators, and trained professionals. The Test Administrator must be familiar with all aspects of the instructions and procedures provided here. This person is also responsible for ensuring that the setting and seating of all students will allow each student to work in a comfortable manner.

A single student can be scored using the Naglieri General Ability Tests national norms.

We currently do not offer the ability to skip tests. The student will have to complete the tests in the order within the Test Plan.

Students’ assigned tests are activated in a predetermined sequence. If a student misses a test (e.g., the Naglieri–NV), they must complete the missed assessment before joining the class for the current testing session. Any missed test can be administered individually to the student as needed.

Have the student re-access the test using the previously used login method. The student’s previous answers will be saved, and their timer will resume from the point they closed the browser.

Viewing the Stop Screen after the final item indicates that a test has successfully been submitted.  If the student views the Stop Screen during testing and has not reached the final item, then that student reached the time limit and all items that were attempted have been submitted. If a student is in grade K-2 the time limit is 30 minutes for each test. If a student is in grade 3-9, the time limit is 35 minutes for each test. If you are continuing testing on another day/time you can close the browser. If you are continuing to test in the same session, the next arrow will not appear until 5 minutes has elapsed. Selecting the next arrow will direct the student back to the Login Screen; however, results will still be submitted even if students close the browser before the grey arrow on the Submit Screen appears

This happened because the student reached the time limit. All items that were attempted will have been submitted. If a student is in grade K-2 the time limit is 30 minutes for each test. If a student is in grade 3-9, the time limit is 35 minutes for each test.

If you don’t see the student’s test in the completion table, this means that the data from the student was not received. Please wait 24 hours, then contact technical support if the issue is still unresolved.

Pressing “Alt” + “K” on the keyboard will display the comic version of the instructions if the instructional video does not work.

Navigating away from the test website browser will automatically pause the test session. To un-pause the test using an external keyboard, press “Alt” + “U” (“Option” + “U” on an Apple device). If using a tablet with no external keyboard, tap and hold the keyboard icon in the top right side of the screen for 5 seconds, then tap the “U”.
