Once the manager has created the group or groups that will take the test, a list of respondents should be forwarded to the department responsible for the test within the institution, so that the institution may inform respondents that they can take the test.
The message sent to each respondent by the institution should include some or all of the following information:
- The unique username assigned to the respondent.
- The correct web address for the test:
- The dates and times during which the respondent can access the test.
- The testing location (if the respondent is obliged to take the test in a supervised environment).
- The approximate duration of the test.
- The importance of verifying the audio before starting the test.
- The importance of answering all the questions honestly.
- Whether or not results will be provided to the respondent at the end of the test and how/where the respondent may access these results.
- The contact information for the test manager at the respondent's institution.
- The web address for the Student Guide: http://aide.ccdmd.qc.ca/tpls/passation/ that the respondent should consult before taking the test.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that respondents be encouraged to read the Student Guide before taking the test, either in a classroom setting or on their own time. The link to the Student Guide is displayed when the respondent connects to the TPLS and on the Instructions page, but once the test begins, it is no longer accessible.
