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.

29

PBT

School Assessment CoordinatorBefore TestingStudent 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.

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. 34

School Assessment CoordinatorBefore TestingArrange 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 2015-16 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).

• 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 45-50 of the Spring/Summer 2016 NGSSS CBT Manual.

School Assessment CoordinatorBefore TestingVerify PreID Labels for NGSSS PBT• Before applying PreID labels to student answer documents:

o Verify that the student is still enrolled and will be tested.o Verify the information on the PreID roster against the

school’s student information database.o FIVE elements MUST be correct on a student PreID label:

Student name Student ID number District number School number Grade level

o Destroy labels in a secure manner if ANY of this information is incorrect.

o If any other preidentified information (e.g., date of birth) is incorrect, use the PreID student label.

• “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. 50
