Administration ProceduresThe following is our district policy for administration of the SAT-10 testsin terms of reading of instructions/questions and timing of tests. Reading Instructions/Questions  Many sections of the SAT-10 are dictated by the test administrator (i.e.teacher) who reads both general instructions and specific testquestions to the students.

Instructions/questions should only be read once. It is assumed that the

test administrator will read the script exactly* as it is written. * Make markers at the school-level or substitute the word “finger” for

the word “marker” in the script

SAT-10 2012

Administration Procedures (cont.)

TimingThe test publisher states that SAT-10 is not a timed test. However,the following guidelines should be used to administer SAT-10.  General Rule: Allow enough time for students to have theopportunity to answer all questions they are capable ofanswering.  Pacing for Dictated Sections: Test administrators should read instructions and questions clearly

and slowly to allow for optimal comprehension by all students. After each question, a maximum of 20 seconds should be allowed

for students to mark a response. 

SAT-10 2012

Administration Procedures (cont.)

Pacing (cont.)Test administrators do not need to wait for every student to mark

an answer before moving to the next test question.Administrators and proctors should be monitoring students to

make sure that they are following along and on the correct test question as testing proceeds.

 Timing for Independent Sections (where students work on

theirown): Suggested times in the manual should be enough for allstudents to finish all test questions. If not, allow enough time forall students to finish but no more than double the suggestedtime.
