Preparation
STEP 1. Establish the testing session that will begin the Waterfront Junior High School Grade 8
test administration window. Allow time in the schedule for make-up test sessions prior to
the end of the administration window. Keep in mind that the entire test is designed to be
administered in two (2) parts over several class periods. Make copies of the test form and
reference sheets based upon the number of students on your rolls.
STEP 2. Review the test administration steps, understand the guidelines for administering the test,
and arrange for the material and equipment you will need. Prior to administering the
test, review the test form, answer key, and directions located within the test booklet.
STEP 3. Establish a controlled testing environment with appropriate testing accommodations.
Administration
STEP 1. Distribute the assessment to the students, while compiling a list of students who will need
to make up the session. Say to the students: “If you have questions about any of the
instructions that I give you, please ask them before the test begins.”
STEP 2. Write and post in the classroom the “Start Time and Date” and “Completion Time and
Date” for each part of the test. Ensure that the students complete the demographic
information on the test booklet cover. Say to the students: “This test will be administered
in two (2) parts. You will complete the first part today. The second part consists of
Extended Performance Tasks (EP) that you will complete over several class periods.”
STEP 3. Begin the testing session.
a) Multiple Choice (MC) and Short Answer (SA) Questions 1-12: Say to the
students: “Let’s prepare to start the test. After you have completed the test, read
quietly at your desk until the testing period is over, and I will collect the tests at that
time. Remember to try your best on each question. If you need help during the test,
raise your hand and I will come to your work area. If you have no questions, begin
the test.”
b) Extended Performance (EP) Task Question 13: Say to the students: “Let’s
prepare to start the performance portion of the test. Read the Extended Performance
(EP) Task preparation and begin working on Task #1, Part A. When you get to class
tomorrow and the next day, I will not give any further instructions. I will hand you
the testing materials you need for that day and you will begin work. Remember to try
your best on each assignment. If you need help during any part of the test, raise your
hand and I will come to your work area. If you have no questions, you may begin the
task.”
End the testing session.
a) Say to the students: “This part of the testing period has ended; I will now collect the
tests and your responses to Question #13.” Explain the procedures for students who
need more time to complete the test. Pick up all test forms and secure all testing
materials.
Model #2-Grade 8 Pre-Algebra-DEMO-FINAL Page 3
After Testing
STEP 1. At the end of each testing period, ensure 100% accountability for all assessment materials
and store them in a secure area.
STEP 2. Use the scoring key and rubric to score the on-demand items and the performance task.
Enter the raw score (points earned vs. total points possible) on the test booklet cover for
each student. Determine if the student’s score meets the performance standard.
NOTE: Mark as incorrect questions left blank or multiple choice questions with more
than one answer.
STEP 3. After all students have completed the test, including make-ups, collect and inventory all
scored tests. Report student results in accordance with the district’s policy in terms of
percent (%) correct or achieving a specific performance level.
