4.9 Make-Up Testing

4.10 Script for Administering High School (Algebra 1) Mathematics - Computer-Based Testing

4.10.1 High School (Algebra 1) Mathematics - Section 1

DURING Testing 4.8.3 Return Materials to STC The following are materials that must be returned to the STC: ● Student Print Cards and Seal Codes(secure documents) ● Mathematics reference sheets,calculators,and Mathematics tools for administration (ifapplicable) ● Accommodated test materials (inform the STC of any tests needing transcription) ● Used and unused scratch paper ● Mathematics Human Reader Scripts(secure documents)if applicable # 4.9 Make-Up Testing If a student starts a Section and leaves the testing environment(e.g.,due toillness,family emergency)without finishing that Section,they may be allowed to complete that Section on a different day withinthe approved testing window.TAs must note the exact place in the Section where the student stoppedand the amount of time remaining. Students are NOT allowed to alter any previously entered or written responses because they mayhave had the opportunity to review material related to the test.They must pick up exactly where theyleft off.To allow students taking a Make-up test to sign in to the missed Section,be sure to providethe Seal Codes for the appropriate Administration and Section in ADAM.If the STC does NOT properlvymove them to the next Section,students may enter the previous Section.Students must NOT be giventime to work in the previous Section of a test.This is a testing irregularity. In some cases,the STC may move a student into a Make-up Administration with other students from other Administrations of the same content.This will allow all students in that new Make-up Administration to have the same Seal Codes.This may make it easier to administer Make-up testing. # 4.10 Script for Administering High School(Algebra l)Mathematics-Computer-Based Testing Instructions for Section 1 are covered in 4.10.1.Instructions for Sections 2-4 are covered in 4.10.2. TAs are required to adhere to the scripts provided in this manual for administering the MCAPassessment.Read word-for-word the bold instructions in each SAY box to students.You may NOTmodify or paraphrase the wording in the SAY boxes.Some of the SAY boxes are outlined with a dashedline and should ONLY be read aloud if they are applicable to your students.TAs should be familiar withthe specific script before administering the assessment. | Start Stop
