Reminders for the 2010 FCAT

Students may not have any electronic or recording devices at their desks, clipped to their belts, in their pockets, or anywhere they can reach them during testing, even if the devices are turned off or the students do not use them. If a student is found to be in possession of ANY

electronic device(s) during testing, his or her test must be invalidated in order to successfully enforce this policy.

Inappropriate actions by school or district personnel before, during, or after test administration may result in consequences such as test invalidations and/or loss of teaching certification. Please carefully read the Test Security Policies and

Procedures to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.

District assessment coordinators must require that school administrators, school assessment coordinators, test administrators, and proctors sign an FCAT Administration and Security Agreement.

Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures

Slide 26

District Assessment Coordinator should be consulted and will advise schools of the appropriate action if invalidation is being considered.

The DNS Bubble MAY be gridded if:

Consideration: Was the student provided adequate time to respond to the test questions?

Yes — submit the document for scoring No — invalidate the document and return it with the TO BE SCORED

materials

The student becomes ill before finishing the test OR is not allowed a full school day to finish the test

Fall 2010 FCAT Re-take & Plan Materials for Training School Coordinators

Page 27: & ACT Plan TRAINING MATERIALS

Purpose of test invalidation is to identify when the validity of test results has been compromised.

Return a student’s invalidated test with the DNS bubble gridded WITH all other TO BE SCORED (red-labeled) materials.

Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures (continued)

Slide 27

This will ensure that the student’s record is on the electronic file, but the student will not receive a score.

directly in the large print test and answer book. If a student provides verbal or signed responses, the test administrator

MUST record the student’s responses directly in the large print book. Do not use a regular print document.

Students who use braille materials will record their responses on braille paper. Contractor will transcribe the student’s responses from the braille

paper into the regular print test and answer book. If a student provides verbal or signed responses, the test administrator

MUST record the student’s responses in the regular print document. Students who use OIPP materials will record their responses in the

OIPP test and answer book. School/district staff MUST transcribe the student’s responses from the

OIPP book into the regular print test and answer book.

If a student is using multiple learning media (e.g., a student uses braille materials and records his or her responses in a large print test and answer book), make sure that ALL of the student’s responses are in ONE document type.
