MSTEP: DRC INSIGHT browser

The Technology Department has begun to install the MSTEP: DRC INSIGHT browser to on to every iMac lab computer, laptop cart and teacher computers. The icons below will show up on the desktop.


The DRC INSIGHT can be used to access the Spring Preview, sample, and calculator practice tools. This will allow students to practice in the same environment as the test.

Please note: The DRC INSIGHT shortcut will not work when you are off campus as it is tied to the local TMS servers in the schools.

The MI Online Tutorials shortcut will allow you to get to the training documents and videos available through eDirect and MDE.  The online tools training video has been posted on the eDirect site.
