Before Testing • Materials for students receiving accommodations may be included: • Large Print – per grade and subject • Braille – per grade and subject • These materials can also be requested through the DTC. • Braille and Large Print accommodated materials require transcription of responses into a Form D Standard Test Book or answer booklet for the reading, writing, and mathematics SBAs and Form SD for the science SBA (procedures for transcription are in the Test Administration Directions). • Reference the Test Administration Directions for administering tests to students with accommodations.
Checklist During Testing • Clarify expectations of electronic devices with all students • Four subtests administered in this order • Reading • Writing • Mathematics • Science (grades 4, 8, & 10 only) • Distribute, collect, and inventory testing materials using the Check In-Check Out Worksheet (or the like) • Students are not permitted to work on previous or subsequent day’s test
During Testing – RWM SBAs • All test books or answer booklets must have either a precode label or a district/school label.
