The administrator of the test must be trained.

Establish Basal and Ceiling before scoring test.

Directions must be in English / no translations.

Students must not be taught the test items at anytime.

The test is confidential and must be secured at all times.

The administrator of the test may not reply with a yes or no or any other gesture to indicate to the student that his/her response is correct or incorrect or give the student a second chance to respond correctly.
