What can trigger an active flag on a student test?

An active flag on a student test can be triggered when a student logs into a different computer with a different Test Session Manager (TSM). This situation often indicates a need for security and integrity during assessments. By using a different TSM, the system can detect potential irregularities, such as testing conditions that may not meet established standards or the risk of multiple sessions being conducted simultaneously, which could affect the validity of the test results.

In standardized testing environments, it’s crucial to maintain consistent and secure testing conditions. The detection of a different TSM helps ensure that the testing environment is controlled and that student identities and test integrity are protected.
