Forward Exam Online Tools Training (OTT)

The OTT provides students with hands-on practice logging in, selecting a test session, responding to different item types, and using the tools available in the testing system. The OTT is not scored and is not for content practice or to see how well students will perform on the Forward Exam. (must be accessed with a chrome browser)
NOTE: If you have to choose one practice option (OTT vs. Sampler) due to time constraints, please use the OTT with your students. The OTT allows students to practice all item types where the sampler does not. As curriculum should be tied to the Wisconsin State Standards, content practice (sampler) is not a necessity.
Forward Exam Item Samplers

Students work in an online system of the same format as the Forward Exam. (Must be accessed with a chrome browser)
Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA) Samplers

- identifying and explaining a theme or central idea, using textual evidence to support the claim about what that theme or central idea is,
- and analyzing the development of an event, character, central ideas, or theme, using textual evidence to support the explanation and analysis.
