TestNav lowers the labor required to implement and maintain the test delivery system. TestNav installs its components when the student launches it to take a test, and removes its components once the test is over. Compatible with industry-standard browsers and works in Windows and Apple environments.

Software must be installed and maintained on every computer Software updates typically require additional work from district/school technology personnel Installed application includes all necessary 3rd party software (e.g., Java, Flash) Browser-based TestNav Offers less control over the delivery system, but much lower labor costs to implement and maintain. Zero-footprint - the TestNav applet downloads when TestNav is launched. Requires no additional work from district/school technology personnel Centralized configuration through PearsonAccess portal allows TestNav configuration from any location Must maintain compatibility with standards and releases of 3 rd party technology
