iLEAP Form Assignment Two forms: form A and form B Forms are grade-specific within a school. It is likely that both forms will be in every

school. Forms will not vary within a grade.


Preidentified Answer Documents

Preidentified answer documents for LEAP, GEE, iLEAP, and LAA 2 are equivalent to preidentified labels used in the past.

Preidentified answer documents still require hand-coding for education classification, exceptionalities, and accommodations.

Do not place bar-code labels over the preidentified information.

Do not correct any errors in the preprinted student information. Instead, the TA should report all errors in preprinted student information to the STC, who must report errors to the district’s Student Information System (SIS) Coordinator for corrections in the SIS database.


Preidentified Answer Documents

Two answer documents for GEE (retesters) and LEAP. One answer document for GEE (initial testers), iLEAP, and LAA 2

Student information typed in the label box includes: First and Last Name, Gender, DOB, Barcode Information, District and School Names and Codes, and SSN/State ID Number.

Student’s typed name will appear in these 2 locations.

Fast Track If your district has fast track schools, pickups

are scheduled as follows: LEAP/GEE Fast Track pickup will take place on Thursday, March 22 – designated schools only. Your return labels will be marked with an X on the left side.iLEAP Fast Track pickup will take place on Monday, March 26 – designated schools only. Your return labels will be marked with an X.

LEAP/GEE and iLEAP Fast Track pickups have a return verification sheet in the DTC binder, which needs to be faxed to DRC.


General Reminders Be sure to transfer answers from all large-print,

braille and other accommodated test materials. iLEAP braille responses must be transferred to a form A

answer document to match the form A braille test booklet.

TA numbers need to be entered March 5–30. Log onto leapweb.org. TA names and number assignments will carry over from

previous administration. Delete name only if the test administrator is no longer

there, otherwise update as needed. iLEAP home study program students testing at

the district office can use either form A or B.


Straggler Answer Documents If answer documents are discovered on site at

DRC or within districts after the cutoff date, they will be processed as straggler answer documents. Straggler answer documents will be held, not scanned or

scored until a later date. Straggler answer documents will not appear on the used

answer document report but may appear on the missing materials report.

For straggler documents, a memo will be released with the student’s score and the student’s Web history will be updated.

The district will not receive student labels for straggler documents, nor will the score show up online in the .csv file or the assessment summary reports.


Additional Reminders Use security checklists to track materials. Be sure all answer documents are labeled

appropriately if not preidentified. Separate used materials by program and keep

them separate for shipping. Keep used answer documents together by

classroom (paper-band labels provided). Use the program boxes in which the materials

were received for returning them.
