No. Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Program Assessments can only be accessed using the secure browsers specifically designed for the current year's test administration. Past secure browsers will NOT work and you may want to consider uninstalling previous secure browsers to avoid having multiple browsers present on the desktop. While old browsers will not affect the functionality of the new browsers, they cannot be used for any reason and may cause confusion for students and Test Administrators.

It is recommended that you use the network diagnostic tool at each of your schools to make sure you have enough bandwidth to be able to test the number of students taking a test concurrently.  The network diagnostic tool can be found on the practice and training test site under diagnostic tool.

Ensure that the secure browser is installed on all devices that you want to use for testing.

It is highly recommended that students take an interim, training, or practice test using the secure browser before the summative test window. This allows you to determine whether or not the tests are running without any issues.
