Returning Answer Documents

• Return all answer documents; do not shred or

destroy any answer documents

• If an answer document is not used, write the

reason not tested in the upper right corner.

• Return unused answer documents paper clipped

together behind the “Burn” material

• Please send in or drop off all testing materials as

soon as testing is completed

• Help us speed up the scanning and editing of the

answer documents13

Add for 2010• Please stack the returned CogAT booklets in grade order and

separately from the DFA’s, unused answer sheets, and extra class and

building sheets

• Place all booklets to be destroyed in a separate stack by itself.

• Big problem occurred when Grade 2 materials were returned in an

unmarked box containing Grade 3-11 materials and we almost missed

them.

• Need to emphasize the need for STC’s to return Grade 2 materials

correctly organized, especially Z-codes, and ready for shipment to

Riverside. DTC will not open, inspect, correct and repack school

boxes.

• Grade 2 should be handled as separate program from Grades 3-1114
