Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System (RICAS)
PearsonAccessnext (PAN) is the online management system for both computer-based (CBT) and paper-based (PBT) testing. RIDE will use PAN to complete the initial student registration. All schools will use PAN to update student registration for testing, upload selected accessibility features and accommodations for each student (CBT and PBT). In addition, schools will use PAN to create and manage computer-based test sessions and monitor online testing activities.
