48

Testing Location Considerations

• Use classrooms whenever possible.• Make sure that each room is free of distractions and

has Comfortable seating Good lighting Sufficient workspace Adequate ventilation

• Avoid testing in a cafeteria, gymnasium, auditorium, or library whenever possible.

• Make sure that: students are not facing each other when seated at

tables. students are not in seating (stadium or staggered) that

allows them to easily view other students’ answers. there is at least three feet between students.

• Remove or cover all visual aids on student desks or displayed in the room, such as posters showing mathematical and scientific concepts.

49

Supervise Test Administration

• During testing, ensure that students: clear their desks of all materials except the appropriate test

materials use only No. 2 pencils (mechanical pencils, ink pens,

highlighters, crayons, colored pencils, markers, correction fluid, etc., are NOT permitted)

do not have books, notes, scratch paper, or electronic devices of any kind (except FCAT/FCAT 2.0 calculator) during testing, even if they do not use them

do not talk or make any disturbance work independently work in the correct session and record their answers in the

appropriate area• Test administrators MAY NOT:

talk with students about test items help students with their answers check through books return books to students after they have been collected discuss test items or answers with students even after all test

materials have been returned and testing has been completed

50

Test Administrator Steps for Returning Test Materials to School Assessment Coordinator

• Verify that you have collected all required administration information.• Verify that your Security Log has been completed correctly.• Remove any stray Writing planning sheets, Writing prompt sheets,

and/or Mathematics (Grade 5-AD) and Science (Grades 8 and 11) reference sheets and return them to the school assessment coordinator.

• Check student grid sheets to ensure the following: No stray marks are on the preidentified/security number area or

the registration marks. No stray marks or writing appear outside designated areas. Student has completed the required information (student name,

school name, and district name) in the upper LEFT corner. DNS and UNDO bubbles are accurate.

• Group materials using the cover sheets in Appendix C of the manuals. • Return all materials to the school assessment coordinator.• Complete the online Test Administrator Comment Form at

www.PearsonAccess.com under the Support tab.

responses on braille paper. Contractor will transcribe the student’s response from the
