  14. General Information Administration Order of MEAP Test Parts • Test parts for reading, mathematics (calculator exception), writing, science, and social studies must be administered in the specified order.

  15. Scheduling Tests Avoid field trips and activities that interfere with the test. Begin testing early in the school day. Allow breaks between parts of each test. Students MUST complete an entire part before being given a break.

  16. Scheduling Test Parts Tests are designed with more than one part. Parts must be administered in order. Students must complete a part of the test before leaving a test session. This includes breaks for recess, lunch, and specials classes.

  17. Students Who Need More Time To Complete The Tests Arrangements must be made to allow additional time during the same continuous session/part on the test date for students who require more time to complete a test. Students who move from one testing location to another must be accompanied by a staff member who transports the materials.

  18. Make-up Testing We must meet a minimum 95% participation rate required for accountability. There are specific subject area make-up dates for students who are absent or are new to the school. Make-up tests can only be given according to the schedule. Justin will facilitate all make-up tests.

  19. Scheduling Scenario A student is absent on the first day of Reading – Day 1. If the student returns on Reading – Day 2, he/she must take Reading – Day 2 first with their classmates. Then complete the missed Day session on a make-up day.

  20. Tardy Students Students who arrive late may not enter classrooms after the teacher(s) have read the test direction to students and students have started working. Late students will need to be placed in a separate location where they may start a test after the test directions are read individually to them. Late students can also be included in a make-up session.

  21. NO DEVIATIONS TO THE SCHEDULE!

  22. Test Security Schools are accountable for every secure item provided on the materials list. Any answer document with a barcode should be considered secure. All test materials are locked. Tests must be collected by the end of each test day and returned to the secure location. No test material that contain test questions or student responses may be copied at anytime or retained in the schools.

NO additional paper, including scrap paper, may be used with any MEAP test unless prescribed by an accommodation. 3rd grade test booklets are also answer documents so student notes should not interfere with the answer grid area. Keep notes away from circles.

  27. Critical Reminders Highlighters • Proceed with Caution-Highlighters and other non- # 2 pencil marks on answer documents (or 3rd grade tests) continue to create problems
