I have not registered at all. How do I register?
Visit the ACER website and complete the online registration form.
Schools will receive login details via an email from ACER once the registration is approved. This may take up to 5 business days.
I have assigned the assessments but my students have not completed them yet. How can students complete them at home?
Log in and go to the Students page to download a list of students' login details.
Detailed step-by-step instructions and video demonstrations are available on the Help page.
Send login detail to each student and advise students of the assigned assessment they will need to complete.
Once I have added students and assigned them assessment/s, do I send login details (link and password) to each student individually so they can complete the assessment/s?
Yes.
Teachers can download or print student login details from the Student tab of the school account.
Detailed step-by-step instructions and video demonstrations are available on the Help page.
Do I assign the same password to all students or a different password to each student?
We advise that students are assigned unique passwords.
How will I know if a student has completed the assessment at home?
As soon as a student has completed the assessment, their results are instantly available online.
Log in to your online account to access results and generate reports.
Detailed step-by-step instructions and video demonstrations of how to generate reports are available on the Help page.
Do all students have to complete the assessment at the same time or can I give them a day and/or time by which the assessment is to be completed?
It is up to you.
You can set a day and/or time (for example, next Monday) for individual completion, or the whole class can complete the assessment at the same time in an online classroom situation.
Either way, you need to send login details to your students prior to completing the assessments.
I have used the assessments before and have a password. Do I use the same password?
Yes.
If you cannot log in, click 'Forgot your password?' to reset your password.
Do I still receive the reports after the assessments have been completed?
The reports are available instantly. As soon as the students have completed the assessments, you are able to access their results and the reports.
Detailed step-by-step instructions and video demonstrations of how to generate reports are available on the Help page.
Who should assist parents, carers or guardians with questions or technical issues?
Teachers will need to assist parents, carers or guardians directly with any queries or technical issues.
Results and reports will be made available only to schools, using OARS instant reporting.
Can the OARS Helpdesk details be provided to parents, carers or guardians?
Due to privacy laws, the OARS Helpdesk will refer any enquiries from parents, carers or guardians back to their child's school. ACER will not provide results or reports to parents, carers or guardians.
