- Ensure you have the right amount of desks and chairs in your classroom.
- Desks are 3 feet apart
- Clear boards
- Verify you have a working clock.
- Content related posters (for specific exam) must be covered during testing.

ON TESTING DAY
Expectations on Testing Days
- Maintaining security of test materials until returned to the coordinator.
- Preparing and distributing test materials in the classroom for each administration.
- Implementing the test administration processes and procedures stated in the manuals.
- Actively monitoring and maintaining test security.
- Reporting any suspected violation of test security to the campus coordinator.
- Completing all required forms, Test-hound and ones specific to the test.
- Preparing test materials for return to the campus coordinator at the conclusion of test administrations.
- Proctors may not assist students with any questions.
- Never leave the classroom or testing materials unattended.
- When you call STOP during a test, students must immediately put their pencils down. They cannot bubble in after stop has been called. Call an administrator if a student continues bubbling.
- Students MAY NOT go back to earlier sections of the test, even just to fill in answer bubbles. If this is observed, call an hallway monitor/admin and take away the test immediately.
- Students can go to the restroom during testing, but they cannot make up lost time. Collect test booklets and answer documents from students who go to the restroom. Return them when the student is readmitted to the room.
