is then responsible for counting the materials and verifying that the assigned number of test materials is returned. ADMINISTERING THE TEST Materials Required for Test Administration Test Booklet. Each student will have a test booklet. Students may not write in the test booklets. Answer Sheet. Students must record all responses onto the appropriate answer sheet. Pencils. Students must use #2 black lead pencils. Students should be told to bring two pencils for the test. A supply of sharpened pencils should be available for students who forget. Mechanical pencils cannot be used because their markings cannot be identified by the scanning devices used to read and score student responses. Directions for Administration (DFA). Each test administrator must have and use the DFA. DFAs are copyrighted materials and therefore may not be duplicated. Do Not Disturb Sign. Duplicate the sign in Appendix E. Place a sign on the outside door of each testing room. Recommended Time of Day to Test A morning administration of the test is strongly recommended. Research indicates that test takers tend to perform better in the morning hours prior to lunch. In order to maximize test security and ensure the validity of the test results, it is strongly recommended that all students at a school be tested at the same time of the day (e.g., starting at 8:30 a.m.) rather than spreading testing sessions over the course of the day. Test Timing The Reading Comprehension subtest is a timed test and is divided into two parts. Both parts must be administered within one school day. The working time for the first session is 25 minutes and for the second session is 30 minutes. Accommodations apply to ESE and ELL students as determined appropriate. Please note that students must complete both parts of the test to obtain a score.
