District Administrators can set and edit the start and end dates of assessment windows. Students are prompted to take the MyPath Assessment multiple times during the year to allow the learning path to adjust based on student progress.
An assessment window start date can only be edited if the window hasn't opened. An assessment window end date can only be edited if the window hasn't closed. Once the testing window date has been closed, it cannot be reopened.
It is recommended that students delay retaking an assessment for 45 days to demonstrate comprehension. For example, students who completed an assessment on October 15 in the first assessment window cannot retest until December 30, even if the second assessment window displays a start date of December 1.
Including three or four assessment windows (a maximum of 4 assessment windows are supported during the school year) that are two to three months in length is advised, to allow time to measure student growth between tests. Assessment windows are contiguous and do not allow gaps, so when one assessment window closes, the next window begins the next day.
To add a MyPath assessment window:
- Click Schools on the left navigation, choose Assessments in the upper navigation, then click Assessment Scheduling.
- Select Edit next to an assessment type.
Time Zone is available once Time Availability is set.
- Select the time and day for which assessments are available for students to access. One hour is the minimum length students can take an assessment.

View the time zone set for your organization in your organization's settings.
You must unselect All Day to select a start and end time for the selected days. Then, click Set to save the start/end times. - Scroll to click Add Assessment Window.
