How to create the Network Test Environment (NTE) folder
If you are using MAP tests for the first time in one or more of your locations, or are installing the MAP training environment, you must create a data folder called a Network Test Environment (NTE) at each new site.
This folder must be shared on your network. All testing workstations will require both read and write network permissions to this folder. Once you have the NTE in place, use NTE Admin 2 to download the three NTE data components:
- School/District Data
- Student Data
- Test Packages
We recommend that each school has its own NTE.
Please note: it is important to begin each testing term with a new, empty NTE folder. Re-using folders from previous seasons can lead to inaccurate results.
