9. Test Booklets Test booklets have been collated specifically by grade and form type to ensure that approx. half of the students across the State will receive Form A of the assessment and the other half will receive Form B. Unless only one student is being tested in a grade level, test booklets MUST be assigned to students in the following sequence for each grade level: A, B, A, B, etc. or B, A, B, A, etc. The key is to alternate form types from one student to the next within each grade level instead of using all Form A test booklets first and all Form B test booklets last. 9
