Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS)
PearsonAccessnext (PAN) is the online management system for both computer-based (CBT) and paper-based (PBT) testing. All schools will use PAN to register students for tests, including paper-based test materials orders, and to upload selected accessibility features and accommodations for each student (CBT and PBT). In addition, CBT schools will use PAN to create and manage test sessions and monitor online testing activities.
