TestReach tutorials for all candidates

The following tutorials enable candidates to view the system before receiving their personal log in two weeks before the scheduled exam date.

The tutorials also provide candidates, who have applied for reasonable adjustments, the ability to review the interface options available and decide which best support their needs. 

Choosing your interface and stylesheet

There are two types of interface (also known as "canvas") in the TestReach system, Fixed and Flex.

• Fixed is the standard canvas for MCQ examinations. You cannot highlight or annotate in this canvas. 
• Flex is available to candidates who require reasonable adjustments for a neurodiverse condition. The Flex canvas enables candidates to zoom in on questions by adjusting the panel size and to highlight and annotate text.

In addition to the two types of interface, candidates with reasonable adjustments may request the Dyslexic Stylesheet, an overlay which changes the background colour and font, or a Low Vision Stylesheet.  

The options are as follows: 

Fixed canvas  (all candidates)

For candidates requesting reasonable adjustments:

Fixed canvas with Dyslexic or Low Vision stylesheet 

OR

Flex canvas with Dyslexic or Low Vision stylesheet

How to view the online notepad and calculator

Candidates are permitted to use the online notepad and calculator in the TestReach App. These are additional features and do not appear in the standard tutorial . To find out what they look like, please use the tutorials for candidates with reasonable adjustments.

Tutorials for candidates with reasonable adjustments (Flex canvas and stylesheets)

The following options are only available to candidates who have requested reasonable adjustments and received written agreement by the College for those adjustments.

Candidates can select either the Dyslexic Stylesheet or the Low Vision Stylesheet.  Both tutorials show the Flex canvas, however, these stylesheets can be applied to the Fixed canvas but you will not be able to zoom, highlight or annotate.
