Update
From RenPlace:
"I do want to thank you for your patience as we looked into the API error students were getting while attempting to resume Star tests. After investigation, we can confirm that this is due to test accommodation preferences that were enabled in Star Math and Star Reading. Students with these preferences enabled at the time of their test are able to complete their assessments, but if they try to test again, they are then prompted to resume the assessment and receive an API Server Error. This error has shown to be widespread, but also sporadic and occurs while the test is in the process of being scored. This issue has been documented and forwarded to our Engineering team. Most importantly, we are actively working to address the underlying issue and recover all affected assessments. There's no need to retest your students if they see this error. We're tracking all reports of this happening and will be reaching back out to you as soon as we affected assessments have been reprocessed and are appearing on reports. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and the impact it has had on your testing schedule. "
