PBT School Assessment Coordinator Before Testing NGSSS Security Numbers Security numbers on test and answer books: Are used to account for each test and answer book. Consist of a nine-digit number followed by a check digit located in the upper right corner of test and answer books. Each test administrator should maintain a list of all secure materials assigned to him or her, including any additional materials assigned throughout the administration.

CBT Student Authorization Tickets For each NGSSS computer-based test, each student needs a username and password, which are printed on the Student Authorization Tickets. Students will need a pen or pencil during testing to sign their tickets. Provide each student a ticket only AFTER all students have entered the testing room, as instructed in the script, and all tickets must be collected BEFORE students leave the testing room. Student Authorization Tickets must be handled in a secure manner and returned to the school assessment coordinator immediately after each day of testing is completed.

CBT Student Authorization Tickets (cont.)

CBT Session Roster (CBT) A Session Roster, which can be used to record or verify most of the required administration information. The roster will include blank fields for recording accommodations and attendance information. Other required information (e.g., test group code) may be recorded anywhere on the roster. Copy and file all required administration information for future reference. Return the originals in the District Assessment Coordinator Only Box.

CBT Seal Code for FCAT 2.0 Retake CBT A seal code is a unique four-digit number used to allow students to access Session 2 of the FCAT 2.0 Reading Retake after they have completed Session 1. Seal codes are provided in PearsonAccess Next. All students in a test session will have the same seal code. There is one sealed section, which is to be accessed during Session 2 (Day 2) of testing. Students must be resumed after exiting Session 1 (Day 1) before they are able to sign back in and enter the seal code for Session 2. Do not provide seal codes to students until instructed to do so in the Session 2 script. Because seal codes enable access to the test, they are secure information. Return seal codes in the District Assessment Coordinator Only Box.

CBT PBT Four-Function Calculators For Science, Grade 8 only, four function calculators are required. For the computer-based Algebra 1 Retake EOC and Biology 1 EOC assessments, students may use the built-in calculator in TestNav, a handheld calculator, or both. You should have enough handheld four-function calculators to provide one to every student taking an Algebra 1 Retake EOC and Biology 1 EOC assessment. Test administrators should provide handheld calculators at the beginning of a test session to all students who request one, as indicated in the test administration script. No other calculators may be used.

CBT PBT Periodic Tables of the Elements Periodic Tables of the Elements are provided to students for Grade 8 Science. Periodic tables are stand-alone pages and are shipped with test materials. Test administrators will distribute periodic tables on the day of the test, according to the directions in the scripts. Students may refer to them at any time during both sessions of the test. Used periodic tables are secure materials and must not be reused Return used and unused periodic tables in the District Assessment Coordinator Only Box.

CBT PBT Maintain Security Inventory the contents of your boxes within 24 hours of receipt and report missing materials immediately. Keep materials secure at all times. Maintain the Test Materials Chain of Custody Form at all times. No more than three people should have access to the locked storage area. Do not open shrink-wrapped materials or begin preparing materials (applying student labels) more than five (5) days prior to testing.

CBT PBT Train Test Administrators and Proctors You are responsible for training all test administrators and proctors, including non-school-based instructors (e.g., itinerant teachers). You must train several employees to act as possible alternates. Test administrators must be certified educators. Test administrators who will administer the test to students using large print, braille, and one-item-per-page materials must be trained in the use of those test materials. For students with accommodations, make sure that test administrators are aware of and have made provisions for the exact accommodations needed for individual students.

CBT Meet with Technology Coordinator It is important that technology coordinators understand their responsibilities before, during, and after the computer-based test administration. Review the instructions and information available at as well as all test administration and security policies and procedures included in the manual, with your technology coordinator and create a plan for handling issues during testing. Technology coordinators are required to sign the Test Administration and Security Agreement. The technology coordinator should also be involved in all planning meetings to provide input on logistics and resolve any network issues.

CBT Computer and Device Preparations The Infrastructure Trial must be loaded on each workstation or device prior to a computer-based test administration. The Infrastructure Trial uses mock content that simulates the loading and processing of an operational test administration. Instructions for running this trial can be found in the Infrastructure Trial Guide available in PearsonAccess Next PearsonAccess Next (FCAT 2.0 and NGSSS EOC) Trial: March (any day in window) Complete the Pearson Infrastructural Trial survey available at ( by March 18 Refer to Weekly Briefing #18532

CBT Arrange CBT Practice Test Sessions Schedule and arrange practice tests (ePATs) as described in the Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT Manual. Before a student can participate in a computer-based administration, the student must complete the appropriate ePAT(s) to learn how to use the computer-based system. Students who previously participated in a TestNav 8 ePAT during the school year, for the subject test they are scheduled to take are NOT required to participate in an ePAT session for this administration. Students who require accommodated CBT forms (e.g., text-to-speech, masking) must also complete the appropriate accommodated practice tests(s). For more information about ePATs, practice test content, and scripts for administering the ePATs, go to

CBTPBT Preidentified Student Information: Test PreID Dates FCAT 2.0 Reading Retake January 20 NGSSS Algebra 1 Retake EOC FCAT 2.0 Science February 26 NGSSS Biology 1, Civics, and US History EOC Important Note: Eligible students that have PBT accommodations added to their IEP or Section 504 plan after the cut dates will NOT have these materials ordered. Please contact Mara Ugando via at to order these additional materials.

CBT Create Test Sessions Test sessions were created through the PreID file upload. You will see these sessions when you log in to PearsonAccess Next. You may begin working on your test sessions in PearsonAccess Next after the PreID window closes: FCAT 2.0 Retake and NGSSS Algebra 1 Retake EOC: February 8 NGSSS Biology 1, Civics, and US History EOC: March 7 The PreID test sessions can be temporary sessions for the purpose of verifying student information, or they can be test sessions you plan to use for testing. Fewer than 100 students in a test session is recommended as best practice. Detailed instructions on how to create a test session and verify student information are on pages of the Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT Manual.

PBT Verify PreID Labels for NGSSS PBT Before applying PreID labels to student answer documents: Verify that the student is still enrolled and will be tested. Verify the information on the PreID roster against the school’s student information database. FIVE elements MUST be correct on a student PreID label: Student name Student ID number District number School number Grade level Destroy labels in a secure manner if ANY of this information is incorrect. If any other preidentified information (e.g., date of birth) is incorrect, use the PreID student label.

PBT NGSSS PreID Labels Affix the label on the box in the lower left corner of the student grid sheet. Do not remove labels once they have been affixed. Do not place a NGSSS PreID label over another label.

PBT Student Demographic Information: The FCAT 2.0 and NGSSS EOC PBT student grid sheet captures student demographic information. A document is preidentified if it has a student label affixed. Blank student grid sheets (non- preidentified) must be gridded using a No. 2 pencil. For more information about specific demographic fields, see the manuals: Pages 11–13 of the Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT Manual and Pages 4-7 of the FCAT 2.0 Science Manual.

CBT PBT Student Enrollment Information/EOC Course List Boxes For non-preidentified NGSSS EOC test and answer books, complete the Student Enrollment Information Box on the back of the book to indicate whether the student is currently enrolled in, was previously enrolled in, or has never been enrolled in one of the courses in the Course List Box. There are fields in PearsonAccess Next to enter this information when adding a student for CBT testing. See page 14 of the Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT Manual for samples of the boxes for the different NGSSS EOC subjects.

Ensure students complete the comment form available at Arrange for and supervise make-up administrations.

School Assessment Coordinator After Testing
CBT Mark a Student’s Test Complete To STOP a test session, all students in the session must be in Completed or Marked Complete status and any Ready students have to be removed. Do NOT Mark Complete: If the student was absent the entire window and is still in Ready status. Do Mark Complete: If a student exits and will not resume testing If a student accidentally exited a test instead of submitting See the page 64 in the NGSSS CBT Manual to mark a test complete. Note: If invalidation is necessary, mark the test complete and then complete the steps to invalidate the test in the NGSSS CBT Manual.

CBT clean-up activities must be completed by 4:00 pm on the last day of the testing window: FCAT 2.0 Reading and Algebra 1 Retake EOC CBT: April 7 NGSSS Biology 1, Civics, and US History EOC CBT: May 20 “Delete” all not started sessions and “Stop” all started sessions Absent students should be removed from the test session (not marked complete). If absent students have already been marked complete, nothing else needs to be done. Students in “Ready” status must be removed from the session before it can be stopped. If students are in “Active,” “Exited,” or “Resumed” status, they will need to be marked complete.

CBT clean-up activities must be completed by 4:00 pm on the last day of the testing window: (cont.) Update student information, if necessary. Correcting Student Profiles (CBT) Incorrect student profiles in PearsonAccess Next that were created via the New Student wizard may be updated before or after testing. Contact SAET at , to submit a request by 10 am on the last day of the testing window SAET will submit the request to Pearson Customer Support. Invalidate tests, if applicable. Ensure that school technology coordinators purge test content from the Proctor Caching computer(s).

PBT Invalidate NGSSS PBT Tests The DNS and UNDO bubbles are located in the SCHOOL USE ONLY box near the bottom of the student grid sheet. The DNS bubble must be gridded when a test is invalidated or when a document is defective and USED according to the guidelines in the manual. If a DNS bubble has been gridded by mistake, erase the DNS bubble and grid the UNDO bubble. Then package the document with all other TO BE SCORED materials for the student to earn participation credit. If a situation described in the Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures section on pages 25–26 of the NGSSS CBT manual occurs, and pages of the FCAT 2.0 Science Manual; test administrators should discuss the situation with the school assessment coordinator, and the situation should be investigated immediately.

CBT PBT Prepare Materials for Return Securely store any handheld calculators at the school. Store Student Authorization Tickets for one calendar school year, and then destroy them securely.
