STAMP Group Rostering Guide

What is Group Rostering?

Results Reports for STAMP (including STAMP 4Se reports) have a rostering ability. Rostering gives testing coordinators or teachers the ability to roster test takers into testing groups (classes) before testing begins. Rostering ensures the following:

  • Controlled access to the assessment (only rostered test takers can access the assessment).
  • Cleaner test taker data (prohibits test takers from creating more than one test instance, easier test taker identification within the report).
  • User-friendly experience for younger test takers with pre-filled fields within the profile screen.

Test Group Rostering Steps

Prior to group rostering, please see the STAMP Getting Started Guide for set-up. Indicate that you would like to utilize Group Rostering when placing your order and prior to requesting Testing Group login codes. Testing Groups will only have the Group Rostering feature enabled upon request.
