Grades 6 & 10 FCAT 2.0 Computer Based Testing Best Practices

Students To Be Tested

2

• All 6th and 10th grade FCAT Reading administrations must be completed via computer.

Administration Schedule and Timing

3

• The state is mandating the computer based assessment of grade 6 and 10 during the April FCAT window above. Districts should schedule one or more sessions per day, to ensure that testing is completed.

• Since the testing window allows for multiple test sessions to be scheduled throughout the week, it is also possible to reassign absent students to an existing session scheduled later in the week rather than specifying make-up days.

Any deviation from this schedule requires written approval from the FDOE prior to implementation.

ALG EOC Practice

12







• Students are organized in Reading testing rooms depending on enrollment and performance in EOCs, allowing for EOC practice activities to be provided or adjusted (for the remainder of the test window) based on enrollment and predicted performance on the EOC.

Accommodations

9

• TestHear accommodated forms (e.g., large print, screen reader, color contrast, zoom, assistive devices) are available for this administration. Any student who requires an accommodated CBT form will need to test using TestHear software.

• Paper accommodations are available only when the accommodation is not available on the computer. (regular print and braille).

• Most accommodations can be completed via computer.

TEST SECURITYRoom Arrangements:

– Ensure that no student can view another student’s screen or communicate test answers

– Use the Privacy Screen provided by Student Assessment– Test Administrators must be actively monitoring students

**This means that for the entire test session, the adults in the room are actively walking around, observing students, and proactively addressing the class as to any potential issues.**

– Ensure that there is adequate space (3 feet) between students that are testing.

– For any paper based accommodations ensure the security of materials

– Ensure all electronic devices are not in students’ possession.

Communicate to StudentsPrior to testing, make sure students understand the

following policies:Electronic Devices Policy: If students are found with ANY electronic

device during testing, their tests will be invalidated. Define electronic devices for students and ensure they are aware they cannot access their devices until testing is completely finished.

Leaving Campus: If students leave campus before completing the test (for lunch, an appointment, illness, etc.), they WILL NOT be allowed to complete the test.

Student Pledge: Students will be asked to agree to a pledge stating that they will not give or receive unauthorized help during the test. If students are caught cheating or irregular answer patterns are detected during scoring, their tests will be invalidated.

Practice Tests (ePATs)

12

Students are required to participate in a practice test at the school using the script provided in the Winter EOC administration manual.

• Practice test is delivered using an ePAT (electronic practice assessment tool).

• ePAT is available for students to practice on their own.

• After participating in a practice test, students can request a four-function hand-held calculator.

• TestHear ePATs are available for students who will use accommodated CBT forms (e.g., zoom, screen reader, color contrast, large print, assistive devices).

• Be aware during practice of what students may or may not understand about CBT (decimal example)
