Do NOT allow other students to test on the device, and quarantine the device in a secure
location until connection has been restored and the student is able to log back in to the test
and the responses are sent to Questar before other students test on that device.
RISE Question Sampler
Accessed through the Utah RISE Portal
Provided to help students, teachers, test administrators, and
technology coordinators prepare for the RISE Benchmark and
Summative assessments.
A great tool for helping anyone taking, administering, or supporting an
assessment to become familiar with the testing tools and navigation
of the Nextera Test Delivery System.
RISE Tools Have Changed
• On the RISE Assessment the tools
have changed and the Question
Sampler is your best friend.
• Equation Editor (EE) – when a
student opens the palette they have
to scroll to see all the different keys.
Expanding the palette can be helpful.
• Train students to recognize pi!
RISE Tools Have Changed
RISE Tools Have Changed
• The graph is a multi-segment tool.
• So if students plot the wrong point, tell them to keep going and close the shape.
• Then they can move the points and position them wherever they need too.
