Impersonate a Student in Online Testing

Impersonating a student in Online Testing lets you preview the student testing experience, enter responses on a student's behalf, and troubleshoot issues.

Users who are assigned Administrator permissions can impersonate students for any test available for online administration, even if a test's settings do not explicitly have Online Testing Impersonation enabled.
