MOCK ACT - ADMINISTRATION

The administration must be as close to representing the environment of a real ACT as possible. CMS will not administer the writing portion of the

test. The script has been modified to save time. Students without pre-coded answer sheets, must

write their names on blank sheets, and Ms. Raynor will complete the remainder of information later.

Proctors are not required for the administration of the Mock ACT, but there will be hall monitors in place.

Modified versions (Braille, Large Print, etc.) are not available at this time.

MOCK ACT – TEST BOOKS The answer keys are in the test

books on pages 56 – 57 and must be removed prior to testing.

I will try to make sure this is done, but please check behind me!!!

TEST ADMINISTRATORS/PROCTORS: BEFORE TESTING

Remind students about the test date. Use the PowerPoint presentation on the site. Parent letters are in the mailbox room.

Encourage students to bring calculators. West Meck will not provide calculators for testing!

Notify your department chair if your room is not suitable for testing. Remember that classroom and hallway displays related to test-taking tips, reading, math, or writing need to be covered or removed. Need a clock? Try posting this one during testing:

hall monitors. Know where you are supposed to be!
