questions or student responses, do not copy them or communicate
them to others, unless necessary for test administration. Make sure
all: Staff and student cell phones are turned off before starting

Security continued 10
Slide 12
Test Preparation What you can explain to students before the
test Tell students that this test is a way for them to show
teachers what they know and can do, so teachers can help them learn
what they still need to learn. This is not a time to ask their
friends for help. 11
Slide 13
Explain to students before the test: 1.Use any open white area
in test booklet as scratch paper. 2.Do not write answers in the
1/2-inch border around the edge of each page. 3.Keep stray marks or
writing an inch away from multiple-choice option bubbles, so
scanner picks up intended response. 4.Erase completely changes made
in multiple-choice bubbles. 5.Underline, circle, figure, take notes
throughout test to aid thinking. 6.May draw additional lines in
between existing lines to provide more writing lines for a
response. We CANNOT submit extra sheets of paper. Responses must be
in space provided in booklet. 12
Slide 14
Test Preparation Test Environment Seating All Testing For
Online Testing Create a seating plan using the Test Forms found on
the Test Tickets or Roster. Do not sit students next to each other
if they have the same letter form of the test (do not sit a B1 next
to a B2, but you can sit an A1 next to a B1). Use manila folders or
other partitions to block neighbors view. Arrange furniture so
students have adequate workspace and cannot see each others booklet
or computer. 13
Slide 15
Charts that may be displayed are: Positive Reinforcements (You
can do it! Answer every question!) Alphabet Line Hundreds Chart
(0-99 or 1-100) (No multiplication matrices) Number Line Test
Environment: Take down or cover up anything in the room that may
assist students while testing. 14
Slide 16
Test Preparation There are separate instructions in the DFA for
paper/pencil vs. online testing (make sure to read the correct set
of instructions). For the Writing MSP, remember to read the prompt
from a student booklet as part of giving instructions. (The Writing

paper/pencil, please read the Directions for Administration (DFA)
prior to testing! 15

Slide 18
Test Preparation For Online Testing To adequately prepare
students to use the online test system, additional tasks must occur
before testing. This is a shortcut to the tutorial (aka demo).This
is a shortcut to the Online Tools Training (OTT) (and to the actual
test). There are different tutorials and OTTs for each subject test
at each grade level, and Lesson Plans/Tips for Teachers to help
teachers administer the Tutorial/OTTs with students. 17
Slide 19
If you are administering Online Tests, make sure that YOU TOO
have reviewed the Online Tutorial and Online Tools Training. This
will ensure you will be able to assist students who need help in
navigating the online test system during the test. Test Preparation

Slide 21
Specific Preparation for Administering MSP Online Pre-Test
tasks include but are not limited to: A seating chart must be
designed so that students sitting next to each other have different

may log back into the system. BREAKS Students click Pause to start
the break, and Resume to continue testing without having to re-log
in. If the break timed out (meaning the test was paused more than
20 minutes), the student will need to log back into the test.
