1. A method of administering a high stakes test, the method comprising:
- providing a proctor device;
receiving an encrypted offline data package at the proctor device;
the proctor device decrypting a first portion of the offline data package;
the proctor device authenticating a user as a proctor using the first portion of the offline data package;
associating the authenticated user with a test group;
decrypting a second portion of the offline data package based on the association, wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion includes a test roster;
providing a plurality of response devices, each response device being associated with one of a plurality of subjects;
adjusting the test roster according to subjects physically present at a test site;
beginning a test;

Abstract
A method of administering a high stakes test includes providing a proctor device and providing a plurality of response devices, with each response device being associated with one of a plurality of subjects. The method also includes beginning a test and receiving a plurality of signals at the proctor device from the plurality of response devices. The method further includes determining that a first response device associated with a first subject is non-functional and temporarily suspending the test to associate a second response device with the first subject, then resuming the test.
