Proper uses for test manuals include:
Placing under leg of desk to stop the wobbles.
Leaving on top of desk for disgruntled student to grab for revenge purposes.
Reading through manual prior to exam day, as part of being an educated professional.
Leave in drawer until exam day, then wing it like a boss!
Although tedious and boring, my job as test administrator is to read the test directions in the test manual verbatim.
No, because I'm an excellent communicator and my version is much more entertaining.
No, because I don't believe everything I read.
No, because I'm a test administrator rebel, but I don't quite know why.
Yes! Please, just, yes.

I don't remember how to access the tutorials, but I won't ask for assistance either.
During the graduation ceremony.
By this Friday.
Are students allowed to access books and magazines after testing?
Yes
No
Removing items in the classroom that may give students an advantage in testing:
Is one of those requirements of testing that I deem unnecessary, so I don't do it.
Is something that I'll make sure to do in my classroom before exams begin.
Acceptable time pieces for testing include:
Working wall clock in classroom
Stop watch
Cell phone
Computer clock
When should I make sure I can successfully log into my NC Ed Admin or CTE Admin to launch an online exam?
On exam day, when students are staring at me.
I won't. I'll take my chances and roll the dice.
By today.
That darn computer doesn't like me. I swear it was working yesterday. Passwords are a fickle beast.
Students must log on to their laptops themselves before you can load an exam.

False

Phones can stay with the student if left on silent mode.
Instruct students to turn off all electronic devises and store in backpacks until exams are finished.
Pass around box and have trustworthy students collect phones for you while you finish your breakfast.
Instruct students to turn off all electronic devises, you confirm they're off, then collect and store out of sight, out of reach, until exams are finished throughout the entire building.
Which statement is false regarding the use of calculators:
Graphing calculators must be cleared before and after testing each day.
All science exams require calculators except Biology.
Students are expected to use graphing calculators for the entire Math 1 exam.
Test Administrators are responsible for ensuring students have the calculators they need before exams begin.
Taking it on ourselves to place volunteers in testing rooms without checking with Test Coordinator first:
Is frowned upon in this establishment.
Is well-intentioned, but ultimately causes problems.
Shows an incredible display of.....who knows.
Should be avoided at all costs.
Testing (including reading test directions) begins:
When students ask if they can begin and test administrator (with untouched manual in desk) says..."sure."
After you see me in the hall and tell me your class has been ready for 20 min, can we begin?
As soon as every student is present, because it's the Taco Tuesday Potluck and I'm not gonna be late!
When Mr. Foster announces over the PA that we may begin.
Test Administrators testing students with Read-Aloud must:
Unmute the computer before launching Safe Exam Browser.
Plug in headphones and make sure the volume is at an acceptable level.
Make sure you grab headphones from testing room before loading exams.
All the above.
For test administrators testing in a accommodated setting:
Make sure you have a ROA for every student in your packet.
Use the ROA's as your classroom roster.
Do not load an exam for any student with whom you do not have an ROA for.
All the above.
Do I have to write start time and end time on the board?
No
Yes
Are students allowed to use the restroom during an exam?
Yes. Have students click pause first, then let them know that they do not get their time back.
No, too bad, hold it in!
Yes. Have students click pause and mark the amount of time they have been gone, because they're allowed to get their time back.
Yes, but only before, after or during an exam break.
When are students allowed to get cell phones back?
ASAP because I easily succumb to teens pressuring me.
When the entire class finishes testing. I'm using mine, why can't they?
While I'm returning test materials. I'll have my proctor return phones, that sounds like a great idea.
When the entire school is finished testing for the day.
If I need a restroom break, I should:
Ask my proctor to watch the class until I get back, especially if they're volunteers and have never been trained to be a test administrator.
Do nothing and remain extremely uncomfortable for the next few hours, not thinking about waterfalls.
Pause the exam and have everyone exit the room, while you take care of business.
Flag a hall monitor and get word to the Test Coordinator.
Because of the real possibility of afternoon testing, I should:
Go on an extended lunch break at a joint that advertises extremely slow service.
Employ seldom-used ninja-like skills to avoid test coordinator at any cost.
Schedule appointments, then run errands after.
Ask test coordinator if I'm needed to test in the afternoon and be available for testing if asked. We all know that students on campus must be tested and I realize it takes a team effort.
