Groups

The Groups menu allows the subscription manager to add, modify and delete groups and respondents, as well as track the testing groups.

In order for a respondent to take a second language proficiency test, they must be part of a group for which a password and a testing schedule have been created. The respondent connects to the TPLS platform using their unique username and the group password.

A single username cannot be added more than once in a group, unless the manager explicitly authorizes the respondent to retake the test (see Results > Individual Respondent Results > Authorize a Respondent to Retake the Test). However, the same username can be added in different groups. Because the database contains a large bank of items, a respondent could take the test more than once without necessarily encountering the same items.
