How do I run teenSMART?

  • After you complete the installation , you should see the teenSMART logo on your desktop. Double-click the teenSMART icon to start the program.
  • You will first come to the teenSMART Home screen. Click once on the Sign In button to begin.
  • This will bring up the Sign In screen. Click on the New button to register a new teen.
  • You should now be at the Student Information screen. The information you enter in this screen is very important and will be used throughout the program and at the end of the program for your teenSMART certification. Be sure to check the accuracy of all information, including your auto insurance company policy number. Your name and auto insurance policy number must match auto insurance company records in order for you to receive an insurance discount, if your insurance company offers a teenSMART discount.
  • If your family has purchased more than one teenSMART program, you must register each teen individually. To add additional teens, click the New button and repeat the Sign In process for each teen. When you are ready to take a computer-based training session (CBT), click on your name to highlight it, then click OK to sign in.
  • Once the student registration information is complete, the INTRO button will be active on the main teenSMART screen.
  • Click on the INTRO button. Answer the survey questions and complete the driving simulation exercises.
  • After the teen finishes the introduction, the INTRO button now appears as a PRACTICE button. You can always go back and repeat this session. To move on, click the RUN CBT button that should now be active.

Why do I need a unique Student ID and Validation Code?
ADEPT Driver uses the teenSMART Student ID to match your test results to your order. Your Student ID and Validation Code can be found on the packing slip sent with the program (if ordered directly from ADEPT). If your Student ID and Validation Code are entered incorrectly, you will not be allowed to start the program. Please note that older versions of teenSMART do not require a Validation Code.

I entered incorrect information in the Student Information screen. Can I edit it?
Your Student ID, Validation Code and name cannot be edited once you complete your registration. Other information you enter in the Student Information screen can be edited up until the point that you successfully pass the certification test. You will not be able to edit any information after you successfully pass the certification test.

Can I complete the CBTs in any order I want?
No. You must go through the CBTs in the order indicated in the student progress screen in the teenSMART program. A completed CTB will appear in white. The next CBT to complete will appear in white and will be underlined. You may repeat any completed CBT as often as necessary.

Can I skip right to the Certification Test?
No. You must complete all of the CBTs in order and then enter the correct Parent-Teen Activity Codes in order to take the Certification Test.

Can I exit the program in the middle of a CBT?
If you exit the program in the middle of a CBT, you will be required to restart that CBT from the beginning the next time you run the program. For this reason, we recommend that you allow approximately 20 - 30 minutes to complete each CBT.
