MORE TO THINK ABOUT:
THE ROOMSEATING

ensure students aren’t skipping questions or pages!
Picking up the PACE!
MAKE SURE DESKS ARE FREE OF ANY OBJECTS
(BOOKS AND PAPERS)
PACESETTERS!
DURING THE TEST
SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS IS NEEDED FOR STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, AND HOW THEY ARE TO MARK THEIR ANSWERS.
NEVER MAKE UP YOUR OWN SAMPLES – REPEAT THE SAMPLE DIRECTIONS ONLY.
PACESETTERS!
ONCE TEST BEGINS . . .
GIVE STUDENTS WHATEVER HELP
THEY NEED WITH MARKING OR
TURNING PAGES . . . BUT . . .
DO NOT HELP THEM WITH SPECIFIC TEST ITEMS.
PACESETTERS!
MAKE SURE STUDENTS DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY SKIP PAGES WHEN
TURNING PAGES.RECOMMENDED:
USE ½ SHEET MARKERS SO THEY ONLY SEE ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME.
DEMONSTRATE
PACESETTERS!
FOR STUDENTS WHO SEEM TO SLOW DOWN OR WHO APPEAR TO GIVE UP,
ENCOURAGE
However, IF a student is crying, or has COMPLETELY shut down, excuse them from completing the test. If you feel they are able, you can attempt to have them
complete test individually with student if parent gives permission.
