Reminder that four out of the five scenarios could result in an exam invalidation. Scenario 2 could have been prevented prior to the start of the examination. Be sure to read the directions to students on the use of communication devices verbatim to students. (Page 7 of Directions for Administering Regents Examinations  ). All students are prohibited from bringing cell phones and certain electronic devices into a classroom or location where a state exam is being administered. Test proctors, test monitors, and school officials have the right to collect and hold any prohibited electronic devices prior to the start of the test administration.  Admission to the test will be denied to any student who is in possession of a cell phone or prohibited device and refuses to relinquish it.
