ISA Systems Preparation (for students)

ISA Writing assessments will be coming up beginning next week during Weeks 22-23.

To get ready for the upcoming assessments, all students must:

  • Update Chrome – Ensure that the latest version of Google Chrome is being used. Ms. Kong and Dr. Doak have created a video to guide students through checking and updating Chrome.
  • Run Browser Exam – Run the browser exam to quickly identify potential issues that might affect the test. The browser exam URL is : https://oars.acer.edu.au/browserexam/#
  • Bookmark the Test Site – Bookmark the test site for easy access during the test date. https://oars.acer.edu.au/nanjing-international-school 

Complete the update and browser exam by Thursday, January  30. If you encounter any issues, please visit the IT Office for support — they promise they only bite when Chrome isn’t updated. 😄
