Assessment Test Proctor Instructions

GRADE LEVEL: The assessment tests are end-of-the-year cumulative tests. The student will

probably be taking assessment tests for the end of the grade level just completed.

ASSISTANCE: The assessment tests are intended to show the student’s current level of

attainment. Accordingly, it is important that the student receive no assistance with the test. Please

refrain from answering questions about the content of the tests until after the testing period.

ASSESSMENT SEGMENTS:

A. READING ASSESSMENT

1. Have the student read the "Student Passage" silently.

2. The student should then read the passage aloud while the person

administering the test makes notations on the "Teacher Passage" sheet. See

Appendix A for suggested notations to be made and the marks to use. Mark

comprehension questions "C" for correct and "X" for incorrect.

B. SPELLING ASSESSMENT

This segment requires the person administering the test to dictate the words, with

the student writing each one as it is dictated. While dictating, repeat each word

no more than twice.

C. ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND MATHEMATICS ASSESSMENTS

1. Both of these assessments are non-assisted segments, with the exception of

the Primer and End-of-First Grade Assessments, for which instructions are

presented orally. The student may take as much time as is necessary to

complete each segment.

2. Please do not have the student type the written essay. Handwriting is being

evaluated as well!

We recommend that the teacher give each portion (reading, spelling, grammar, and math) a

percentage score. If the percentage is 70% or higher, we recommend proceeding to the next grade

level. If the score is below 70%, a review of the completed grade's work is recommended or you

may decide that the student should return to the last level of mastery and proceed from there, even

if that means going back a grade level in that subject area. It is not necessary to assign a

percentage score for the writing section.
