ISAT Test Administration Manual 1

INTRODUCTION

The International Student Admissions Test (ISAT) is written and developed by the Australian Council

for Educational Research (ACER) as a measure of international candidates general cross-curricula

reasoning abilities.

ISAT is required as part of the admissions requirements for international students for: Griffith University (Dentistry)

Monash University, Melbourne (Medicine)

Monash University, Malaysia (Medicine)

University of Western Australia (Medicine & Dentistry)

Candidates register online at www.acer.edu.au/isat to sit for the test at any of the test centres around

the world.

All queries about registration and administration of ISAT should be directed to:

ISAT Project Director or ISAT Project Officer

TEST CENTRE PROCEDURES

Test dates

Each testing centre has nominated up to 10 dates between March and October. The dates specific for

each centre are linked in the registration database on website www.acer.edu.au/isat.

Registration of candidates

Candidates register online at www.acer.edu.au/isat. Most will pay by credit card, and will receive

immediate email confirmation of their test sitting details

Some candidates will not be able to pay by credit card online, so their registration is pending until

their bank draft/cheque is received at ACER or is sighted by the test centre. If a candidate brings a

cheque to the test centre up to three weeks prior to the test, please store it, and email the candidates

registration number, full name, and date of birth to [email protected]. ACER will then confirm the

registration. After the test, enclose the cheque with the test papers to be sent back to ACER.

Some IDP Education Australia offices may find that some candidates enquiring about ISAT are

reluctant to go home and register online, and would prefer to complete the form with the assistance ofa counselor. If you are not able to do this online in the office with the candidate, then a printout of the

registration pages may be used and faxed to ACER +61 3 9277 5757. ACER will then manually enter

the candidate into the system. The registration pages document can be found under Test Centres on

www.acer.edu.au/isat

Registrations close two weeks prior to the test date, to give time for the attendance roll to be emailed

to the test centre and for the test papers to be despatched from ACER.

Candidates may not re-sit the test within six months of their last test sitting.

Candidate fees

Fees are reviewed annually as part of the agreements between ACER and IDP Education Australia

Canberra office and other individual test centres. ACER will pay an agreed portion of the registration

fee per candidate to the test centres after each test.

Receipt of testing materials

The testing centre is responsible for the security of the test papers from the time of delivery by courier

from ACER.

An acknowledgement receipt should be emailed or faxed to ACER upon receipt of the materials.

A nominated staff member who has signed a Confidentiality Agreement should take delivery of the

test materials, and place them immediately into secure storage. The storage should be a locked

cupboard or storage room with access limited to staff who have signed confidentiality agreements.

Tests should only be removed immediately prior to the test, and all used and unused papers should be

returned to secure storage until collected by courier for return to ACER.


5/35


OUTLINE OF CHIEF ADMINISTRATORS DUTIES

In addition to supervising the test, the administrator is asked to take responsibility for

receipt, checking and storage of test materials;

maintenance of test security;

selection of appropriate assistants; briefing of assistants and familiarize them with key aspects of the test procedure;

checking and immediate return of all test materials with the Administrators Report Form.

Chief Administrators are asked to complete a Confidentiality Agreement and return it to ACER,

before test materials will be released.

SECURITY OF TEST MATERIALS

All test materials are highly confidential and must be kept secure at all times. It is the responsibility of

invigilators to see that no persons read or copy questions at any time, other than candidates reading

them while they are doing the test. This prohibition applies to all those who assist with the

administration of the test. The only exception is when a candidate complains that there is an error inthe test booklet and an invigilator is required to check it.

Materials Return Form (p. 29 in this Manual).


9/35


BEFORE THE DAY OF THE TEST

ISAT is a three-hour multiple-choice test. Additional time should be allowed for other aspects of the

administration procedure, including seating of candidates, distribution and collection of materials, and

filling in information on forms.

Standardised test conditions

The test scores of candidates are comparable only when uniform examination procedures are followed

at every test centre. In general, university guidelines for examinations should be followed. Some

modifications may be appropriate to accommodate the specific requirements of this test as outlined

below.

Staffing the test

1 In this Manual the term Chief Administrator is used to designate the person with overall

responsibility for making arrangements for testing.

The term Assistant Supervisor is used to refer to a person in charge within one room or hall, who

actually reads aloud the instructions but who does not hold the overall responsibility for the ISAT

sitting at your centre. In some cases, when there are few candidates, the Chief Administrator can doboth jobs.

An Invigilatoris an aide to the Chief Administrator or Assistant Supervisor who may

check candidate identification for admission to the test room;

check bilingual dictionaries;

allocate seats to candidates;

hand out and collect Test Booklets;

count and verify Test Booklets;

check that candidates are correctly marking Answer Sheets;

provide other general assistance such as posting directional notices, etc;

assist with invigilation during the test.

2 When there are more than 50 candidates to be tested it is recommended that the Chief

Administrator does not assume the responsibility for conducting the test session within the room but

devotes his/her entire time to overall supervision. An Assistant Supervisor could conduct the actual

test session.

3 A test room should never be unattended during testing.

For this reason even in small test centres more than one person should be on duty.

Suggested ratio of candidates to supervisory staff

The examination room should be staffed as follows:1 49 candidates 1 Chief Administrator or Assistant Supervisor and 1 Invigilator

50 99 candidates 1 Chief Administrator or Assistant Supervisor and 2 Invigilators

100 150 candidates 1 Chief Administrator and 1 Assistant Supervisor and 2

Invigilators

For each additional 50 candidates in a test room, 1 extra invigilator could be used.


10/35


Selection and briefing of assistant supervisors and invigilators

1 Clerical/administrative staff generally have the appropriate skills needed for invigilators.

Reliability and integrity are essential.

2 Impress upon all assistants the need for security. It is essential that supervisors and their

assistants carefully read and conscientiously follow the procedures set out in this Manual.

Selection of test venues

1 The test venue should be selected to conform to standard criteria for examination centres.

2 The desk space should be large enough to allow candidates to work without having to juggle

the test booklet and answer sheet.

3 Every candidate should be visible to invigilators at all times. L-shaped rooms, partitions, etc.

are not acceptable if they obscure the invigilators view.

4 Rooms need to be satisfactory with regard to:

lighting, heating and ventilation;

freedom from distractions;

appropriate desks/tables and chairs;

availability of wall clocks or substitute;

acoustics;

amplifying sound system in room/halls (where necessary);

toilet facilities; and signage to alert occupants of neighbouring corridors and rooms that an exam is in

progress.

Setting up test rooms

1 Place chairs directly behind the chairs in the preceding row. Keep rows straight.

2 Place chairs and desks to ensure a minimum distance of 1 metre between candidates on both

left and right sides, to minimise the possibility of cheating and to permit easy access to desks

for candidates and invigilators.

3 Every candidate must have his/her test booklets handed individually on to the desk. It will

facilitate distribution if the invigilators can walk behind the last candidate in each row. This

permits distribution of test booklets in sequence down one row and up the next. Time is saved

and control of test security improved.


11/35


Receipt and storage of materials

1 The Chief Administrator is responsible for the security of all test materials from the time they

are received until the time of their return to ACER.

2 Within 24 hours of receipt, check all test materials and verify quantities. If there is a

discrepancy between the Packing Slip and the quantities received, please notify ACERimmediately by email or fax.

3 Keep materials in locked storage except when they are actually in use. Only specifically

designated assistants should have access to stored materials.

Multiple-choice answer sheets

The invigilators should be familiar with the format of the answer sheet and the correct way to mark

answers so that the procedure can be explained to the candidates.

Keep answer sheets flat by storing them between pieces of heavy cardboard. Avoid using dog-eared,

torn or folded answer sheets. Paper clips, pins and stray pencil marks are to be avoided, as they will

affect the accuracy of the mark reading equipment.

Timing of tests

Invigilators may use a clock that can be re-set to a convenient time as each test begins.

test booklets, either in the margins or on the blank pages at the back of each test booklet.

No eating or smoking is permitted duringthe test sessions or in the test rooms. Water bottles are

permitted.

Identification checks

Candidates are required to show photo-bearing identification. The only acceptable forms of

identification are:

a current passport; or

National Identity Card from the country of citizenship.

The identification must contain a photograph that is a recognisable likeness of the candidate at the

time of sitting the test a childhood photograph in a passport is not acceptable. A National IdentityCard must include the candidates name, signature, date of birth and a recent photograph.

If the candidate does not present a form of identification listed above, or if the identity document

presented does not bear an easily recognisable photograph of the candidate as s/he looks on the test

day, then the candidate will not be permitted to take ISAT.


13/35


Distributing and collecting materials in the test room

1 Test booklets must not be put on desks before admitting candidates to the test room.

2 Each candidates test booklet must be placed individually on the desk by an Invigilator after

the candidates are seated. Never ask candidates to pass test booklets down or along a row.

3 Test booklets are sent from ACER in a sequential order. The distribution and collection of

booklets in this order will make security easier to maintain. Ensure by checking numbers as

distribution proceeds that no candidate receives more than one test booklet.

4 Collect test booklets in the same manner and in the same order as they were distributed.

5 Collect answer sheets separately from test booklets.

6 Verify that every test booklet is handed in.

7 Place unused test booklets in a secure position so that candidates cannot gain access to them as

they leave the test room.

Emergency situations

1 Missing test materials in the test room

After distributing the test booklets use the Test Distribution Form to:

record the number of candidates in the room.

record the number of test booklets still in your possession.

(i) Together they should equal the number of test booklets allocated to the test room.

(ii) If a shortage is found, inform the candidates that one of them has been handed an

extra test booklet by mistake and ask for it to be handed in at once. When the test booklet is returned,

proceed with testing.

(iii) If the missing test booklet is not handed in, or if the shortage is discovered after the

candidates have started the test, proceed with testing and make a detailed plan of the seating

arrangements in the room showing the serial numbers of the test booklets as they were distributed up

and down each row. It is essential to identify which particular serial number is missing. In this way it

is possible to determine at exactly what point the missing test booklet would have been distributed.

The supervisor can then question candidates at the exact distribution point.

(iv) If a missing book cannot be located despite use of the procedures outlined above,proceed with the testing or the dismissal of candidates, but report the details to ACER.


14/35


2 Test errors and misprinted Test Booklets

If a candidate complains of an error,

Check the alleged error in the candidates Test Booklet. If the candidate just thinks there issomething wrong but cannot show an obvious error (such as a misprint), the candidate should

continue to the best of his/her ability.

If there is a minor misprint (such as with an item number or a typographical error), which canbe correctly interpreted, this should be corrected for the candidate, and an announcement

made.

If there is a major printing error in the Test Booklet, the booklet should be replaced and theanswer sheet modified appropriately.

Report any problem on the Chief Administrators Report Form. Record details on the Test

Distribution Form.

3 Candidate illness

If a candidate becomes ill, and leaves the test early, a note should be made on the Chief

Administrators Report Form. Candidates excused from testing because of illness cannot return.

4. Late arrival of candidates

A candidate should not be admitted to the test session after candidates have commenced working.

5 Unforeseen events

If an unforeseen event occurs, Supervisors or Invigilators need to make decisions consistent with

safety and common sense.


15/35


Prohibited items

bags, briefcases, crash helmets

audio devices, with or without earphones

calculators

mobile phones, pagers, laptops, palm pilots

paper, books, newspapers

any electronic item that can transmit or record information

dictionaries other than a standard, printed dictionary

desks. Electronic dictionaries are not permitted.

Permission to go to the toilet

Candidates may go to the toilet if accompanied to the toilet door by an invigilator. (Of course, they

must not take any test materials with them.)

Unethical behaviour

during the test itself, are viewed as serious breaches of ethical behaviour and will attract penalties.

Any candidate found to be cheating will automatically have his/her ISAT scores cancelled and will be

prohibited from registering to take ISAT on a future occasion.

attempting to gain access to test questions prior to the test;

attempting to take the test on behalf of another person;

Read slowly and clearly checking that all candidates are keeping pace. Pause to allow

candidates to carry out an instruction when four dots appear. . . . .

DO NOT DEVIATE from the directions or answer questions about the content of the test, as

procedures for all sittings of the test should be consistent. It is important that candidates

understand what to do when completing information on their answer sheets.
