All test administrations begin at 8:30 am Schools can accommodate students who arrive shortly after testing begins, if there is no interruption to other students.

  16. Step 7: Train your Proctors • District Assessment Coordinators are responsible for identifying all Test Site Coordinators and Test Proctors. Ensure that all administrators and Test Proctors are sufficiently trained.  On July 1, OSPI will release a PowerPoint to help districts with training:  www.k12.wa.us/TestAdministration/Trainings/. • Test Security Assurance Forms must be signed prior to and after administering the exam. • Complete Administrator training in time to support all test administration processes. • Complete proctor training in time for Test Proctors to become familiar with processes and specific student directions.

  18. Frequently Asked Questions (continued) What test materials can I expect to receive? You will receive 2 ACMs per district and an additional 2 ACMs per test site. You will also receive 1 DFA for every 20 students registered (at least 1 per test site).

How do I know who is registered at my school or district? Review the Pre-ID Roster in WAMS.
