Allowable Test Administration Procedures and Materials
These are available to all students, but should not be given to every student. Students cannot be required to use them. These should be “tried and true” when using.
These include:
* Signing test administration directions
* Translating directions into student’s native language

Distribution of Testing Materials

Distribution of Testing Materials

•Before leaving the checkout room, count all materials issued to you.
