HOW TO GET STARTED USING BEST PLUSI am a recently trained test administrator and I have used my 10 complimentary administrations credited to my program after my training. How do I get started actually using BEST Plus? Follow these steps: Step 1. Your program or organization needs to order BEST Plus computer-adaptive or print-based test administrations. You can follow our online ordering guide to order online using your program’s Customer Number (ex BPDC1234). Order forms can also be downloaded here and faxed to us at 1-888-700-3629, or mailed to: (sans spaces in the address) Step 2. After the order is placed, the BEST Plus staff will contact you within one business day of receipt to confirm your order. Step 3. Once we confirm receipt of your order, you need to obtain your 5-letter Registration Key to start adding your pre-purchased tests to your computer. If you don't know how to get your Registration Key, please see our CD Quick Reference Guide. Once you have your Registration Key, you will need the unique corresponding 5-digit Purchase Code, which you will type into your computer to unlock your pre-purchased test administrations. To obtain your code you go online to our Web site and click on "activate BEST Plus administrations." All you need is your e-mail address, your program's Customer Number, and a password, which you can register for on your first visit. Type in your Registration Key from the green box on the Registration Screen and you will get the Purchase Code to access your test administrations right away. Alternatively, if you do not have online access you may either:
Important: You MUST be using the computer you intend to use for testing. The Purchase Code we provide you is only valid on the computer you use to obtain the Registration Key. If that computer has Internet access, you can press Alt and Tab at the same time to minimize BEST Plus to get your Purchase Code online. Step 4. Type your Purchase Code into the red box and the tests unlock instantly and you can begin testing! Please note: Each time you add test administrations to a computer, you will have a new Registration Key, so you will need to contact BEST Plus to obtain your new Purchase Code.
What are the minimum system requirements for using BEST Plus on my computer? BEST Plus will work with most Microsoft Windows operating systems but relies on the proper system configuration to work smoothly. We recommend running BEST Plus on a Windows 2000 operating system or later (e.g., ME, XP, etc). BEST Plus has, however, been successfully run on Windows 95 and 98. You will also need to be set up on your computer with Power User or Administrator rights, which you local technical support staff can take care of for you. BEST Plus is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista. For information on how to set up BEST Plus with Vista, please click here. If you are using a Mac, you will need to have the latest version of Virtual PC. Virtual PC is software that emulates the Windows operating system, allowing Macs to be able to run software written for Windows. Please consult with your local technical support staff to determine if your Mac is able to run such software.
The password for both the Test Administration Program and the Score Management Software is "mexico". This is also true for the black Administrator Practice CD. |
