•	You can now administer a T.O.V.A. test without rebooting using the T.O.V.A. USB device and an external monitor (external A/V testing)

In fact, there's only one thing that hasn't changed: the T.O.V.A. test itself. It's still the most precise, accurate, and objective measure of attention in the industry.
