Using Test Pilot, from Randy Rambo's online English Composition 1 course, provides information for students about logging in to Test Pilot assessments and the error messages that students may encounter. (Some of the information on the page is course specific. For example, the page indicates that a student's login name is the student's social security number, but the instructor determines the student's login name.)
