4.  Would I need to invest in any hardware or system software?

No. The server and its software are licensed and maintained by dataMetrics. Anyone with Internet access will be able to view results online. Both Macintoshes and PC’s are supported. You do need to license TestWiz.Net annually.

5.  What about the security of the data?

All data going to and from the server on the Internet are encrypted. The server itself is in a locked down facility. You are the one who gives access to others in your school system via user names and passwords. You control permission to view student level information down to the teacher level. 

6.  How does the data get uploaded to TestWiz.Net?

dataMetrics personnel upload your CTP 4 and Writing Assessment Program data files for you. 

7.  Do I need to use student ID numbers in order to view results longitudinally?

It is highly recommended that you do use student ID numbers. That serves to facilitate matching student results from one year to the next. However, if you don’t use ID’s, TestWiz.Net does have a utility for matching student records online after they have been brought into the database.

8.  Can I use my local demographics such as ethnicity and sending school?

You can add your own demographic fields into the database and then associate students with those demographics.

9.  How easy is it to learn?

Anyone with minimal computer experience can start generating meaningful reports very quickly. A toll free helpline is available from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (EST) weekdays and e-mail questions are answered within 24 hours.

10.  What about training?
