Installing the TestGen Plug-in

The TestGen plug-in lets students take TestGen tests using various web browsers and course management systems. The TestGen plug-in installer is available separately for instructors to download from the Pearson TestGen web site (www.pearsoned.com/testgen). A copy of the plug-in installer is also available on the TestGen CD in the Web Utilities folder.

To install the plug-in on a Windows or Macintosh computer:

  1. Open the Web Utilities folder on the TestGen CD and run the Install Win TestGen Plug-in.exe program (Windows) or the Install Mac TestGen Plug-in.pkg program (Macintosh).

Note: To install the TestGen program and plug-in, you must log on as a user who has administrative rights. If you do not have administrative rights, the installation program will terminate.

  1. Follow the directions on-screen to install the plug-in in the Plugins folder of the web browsers on your computer.

Newer versions of the plug-in may also be obtained from the Pearson TestGen web site and from links for students using various Pearson course management systems.
