ChromeOS SecureTest Progressive Web App (PWA)

As a reminder, SecureTestBrowser version 8 used in prior school years is not supported on ChromeOS 139 and higher. Cambium Assessment has transitioned to a PWA to provide a secure testing environment on ChromeOS devices. The SecureTest PWA version 10 must be used on devices running ChromeOS 139 and higher.
 
For additional information and a list of common errors and their solutions, see this announcement on each test portal. For additional support with installing and using the ChromeOS SecureTest PWA, contact the Ohio Help Desk at 1-877-231-7809 or ohhelpdesk@cambiumassessment.com.

Secure Browser and Operating System Support

Cambium provides a grace period for the transition of browser and operating system versions at the beginning of the school year where both the prior and current versions are supported. That grace period has ended and the requirements listed in the Technology Guide now apply.

Upcoming Scheduled Maintenance

Cambium Assessment conducts periodic maintenance of their testing systems to ensure system stability and reliability throughout the school year. The next maintenance period will start on Saturday, Nov. 8, beginning at 9 a.m., and may last up to 24 hours.
