Overview
These training materials are designed to highlight
important information regarding test administration
policies and procedures.
Not all information from the test administration
manual is included in this presentation, so it is
imperative that district and school staff read
and familiarize themselves with all
information in the manual in addition to
using these training materials.

Test Administration Manual
One manual (2013–2014 EOC
Manual) is provided for the
Winter 2013, Spring 2014, and
Summer 2014 administrations.
Scripts and instructions for
administering computer-based
tests (CBT) are included in this
manual.
Scripts and instructions for
administering computer-based
and paper-based
accommodations are located at

Test Administration Schedule
• Each administration window has different scheduling
requirements. Please review the schedules carefully to
ensure schools understand the guidelines for all EOC
administrations.
• Since the testing window allows for multiple test sessions to
be scheduled throughout the window, schools may reassign
absent students to an existing session scheduled later in
the week rather than create separate make-up sessions in
PearsonAccess.
• Any deviation from the test administration schedule
requires written approval from the Florida Department of
Education (FDOE) prior to implementation.

What’s New
CBT Test Administrator Quick Reference Guide
• The CBT Test Administrator Quick Reference Guide
(formerly Appendix D of the manual) has been removed
from the manual and is available at
www.FLAssessments.com/AdditionalResources.
9
What’s New
Testing Rules Acknowledgment
• The last portion of the testing rules read to students now
reads, “After the test, you may not discuss the test items
with anyone. This includes any type of electronic
communication, such as texting, emailing, or posting to
blogs or websites like Facebook or Twitter. If you are found
sharing information about test items, even without the
intent to cheat, your test will be invalidated.”
• Students and their parents/guardians should be made aware
of the testing rules prior to testing.
10
What’s New
Required Administration Information
• The list of required administration information has been
updated to include both the accommodations provided to
students and the accommodations used by students during the
test administration. This information may be recorded on the
Session Roster.
• If a student chooses not to use an accommodation that is
provided, the school assessment coordinator should be notified
when testing is completed, and the accommodation should not
be recorded in PearsonAccess or on the student grid sheet.
• Schools are responsible for maintaining documentation of
accommodations that are provided but not used.
• The blank Administration Record/Security Checklist has been
updated to include fields for recording both accommodations
provided and accommodations used.
11
What’s New
Test Security Statute and Rule
• Florida Test Security Statute, Section 1008.24, F.S., and
Florida State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.042, FAC,
previously located in Appendix B, are now located in
Appendix C.
• The Statute and Rule are printed on perforated pages
that may be removed and, if necessary, copied for all
personnel involved in test administration.
12
What’s New
Students’ Retake Status
• Districts and schools no longer need to provide students’
retake status when entering a student through the PreID
process or the New Student wizard.
• Pearson will track the retake status for students using EOC
history files.
• If a student has a previous score or test attempt on file for
the subject test he or she takes, that student will be flagged
as a retake student.
13
What’s New
Updates to Student Profiles
• Incorrect student profiles in PearsonAccess that were
created via the New Student Wizard may be updated
before or after the student tests.
• The district assessment coordinator can submit a request
by calling Pearson Customer Support at 877-847-3043.
14
What’s New
Accommodated Scripts and Instructions
• The test administration manual no longer includes scripts
and instructions for administering paper-based
accommodations (regular print, large print, braille) or
TestHear accommodated computer-based test forms.
• Scripts and instructions for administering these
accommodations are located at
www.FLAssessments.com/EOC.
• It is important that school personnel who will administer
paper-based and computer-based accommodations
familiarize themselves with the appropriate scripts and
instructions before testing.
15
What’s New
CBT Worksheets
• For students taking the computer-based U.S. History and
Civics EOC Assessments, CBT Worksheets may be
provided if students prefer to make handwritten notes
instead of using the online notepad tool.
• The worksheet is an 8½ × 11 page (located in Appendix
D and PearsonAccess) that may be copied and
distributed to students at the beginning of a test session.
• Used worksheets must be handled as secure materials
and packaged in the District Assessment Coordinator
ONLY box after testing.
16
Reminders
Electronic Practice Assessment Tools (ePATs)
• The computer-based practice tests, also called ePATs, and
scripts for administering ePATs are posted separately at
www.FLAssessments.com/ePATs.
• Students should be made aware that they can access ePATs on
their own at this location.
• Schools must administer the appropriate practice test(s) to all
students to be tested using the ePAT scripts; however, if a
student has previously participated in an ePAT for the
subject test he or she will take, the student is not
required to participate in an ePAT session.
17

• If a student begins a test and leaves campus without
finishing (due to an appointment, illness, etc.), he or she
will NOT be allowed to complete that session.
• No exceptions will be made once the student leaves the
school’s campus, so students and parents/guardians must
be made aware of this policy.
• If a test administrator has concerns about a student (e.g.,
if a student seems ill), that student should be tested in a
different test session or on a make-up day.
26
Reminders
