Alaska partners with NWEA to administer the Alaska System for Academic Readiness (AK STAR) ELA and mathematics assessments. The AK STAR assessment is administered using NWEA's State Solutions app, which is different than the NWEA Secure Testing app used with MAP Growth.
The NWEA State Solutions app is pre-installed on all LPSD-managed student computers as well as student and staff iPads. The app can be installed on staff computers if requested. If a device is missing the NWEA State Solutions app, or if the app fails the automatic system configuration check, please contact helpdesk@lpsd.com.
NWEA Customer Service is available by phone or email for help with some issues.
Phone – 1-866-384-5415
Email – AKSTAR@nwea.org

STATE PARTNER CODE: ALASKA
Computers - Current App Version: 4.3.1
The app can be found in the Dock or the Applications folder. If missing from both of these locations, please contact the Helpdesk.
When launched, the app will automatically perform a system configuration check. If any of these fail, please include a photo or screenshot when reporting to the Helpdesk.
iPads
The app can be found inside the Testing app folder on iPads.
Similar to the computers, the app will perform an automatic configuration test. If any items fail, please send the Helpdesk a photo or screenshot of the error.
The app takes advantage of Apple's single-app mode. This locks you into the testing app once launched, to prevent switching between apps. Please select yes if prompted to choose.
