occur:

Situations involving possession of electronic devices, possible cheating, or disruptive
behavior should be investigated and discussed with the school assessment coordinator and
site administrator before a final invalidation decision is made.

compromise the validity of the test results (e.g., students had access to an
unauthorized visual aid that gave an unfair advantage).

Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• During testing, ensure that students:
 are working independently
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• During testing, ensure that students:
 are working in the correct session and recording their
answers in the appropriate area
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• During testing, ensure that students:
 do not make stray marks near the answer choice bubbles.
 This is especially critical when students are testing in a
combination test and answer book.
 Stray marks near the bubbles may interfere with the
scoring of the document.
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• Do not:
 talk with students about any test item
 help students answer any test item
 While you may encourage students to continue working,
you may not talk with them about the prompt or test
items or help them with their responses.
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• For example:
 a student finishes the test before the allotted time has
elapsed, the test administrator or proctor:
 may encourage them to go back and check their work.
 may not read or comment on responses,
 may not help plan what to write
 may not provide information that would help infer the
correct answer (such as suggesting that the student
might want to review their work on specific items)
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• Do not:
 check through books
 return books to students after they have been collected
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• Do not:
 discuss test items or answers with students even after all
test materials have been returned and testing has ended
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• Do:
 Check student grid sheets to ensure the following:
 No stray marks are in the preidentified/security
number area
 No stray marks or writing appear outside designated
areas
 DNS and UNDO bubbles are accurate
Supervise Test Administration (continued)
• If student reports an error with an item:
 DO NOT read item
 note the grade level, content area, form code, item number, and
basic student concern
 (e.g., two possible answers, no correct answer, etc.).
 encourage the student to reread the item
 most concerns result from students who don’t read an item
carefully
 Encourage the student to answer the item to the best of his/her
ability and continue with the test
 Once testing has ended, inform Cherie who in turn will notify the
FDOE with this information.
 The item will be investigated.
