TestNAV is the secure, browser-based platform used for many state-level standardized tests like ACT, ISASP and SHSAT. It’s not just software—it’s the very environment in which students perform. As tutors, helping students become fluent with TestNAV means giving them more than knowledge: you're offering familiarity, calm, and confidence.

How TestNAV Guides Sensible Exam Preparation

  By guiding students through navigation, toolbar layout, and response mechanisms, you help them shift focus from clicking to problem-solving.
  
  
• Makes exam tools second nature
  Features like line readers, equation editors, and flagging become intuitive when integrated naturally in practice sessions.
  
  
• Creates procedural fluency through rehearsal
  Walking students through logins, readiness checks, and timer settings IN REALISTIC SIMULATION cultivates ease that transfers naturally to test day.
  
  
• Weaves technology into strategy
