Important Note:
Before administering online tests, it is important to ensure that all devices to be used by pupils have had the most recent system and browser updates applied.
You can then go to https://trythetest.erc.ie on these devices to navigate through a demonstration test. This will allow you to ensure that questions can be viewed correctly, and answers can be selected.
Below please find some helpful materials and information to assist you in getting started with online testing! If you have any questions at all, please just email us at dots@erc.ie.
