Test Administration Manual for District Common Finals: Math, Biology, EOC—2019-2020 1



Washoe County School District: Common Finals

The purpose of administering common finals district-wide is to align instruction to the Nevada

Academic Content Standards (NVACS) and measure and record the achievement of WCSD

students in core academic courses including special education, regular, and honors courses.

Integrity of test results and comparability with future administrations is dependent upon all

schools and individual courses following standardized procedures for test security and test

administration.

(TA=Teacher/Test Administrator, STC=School Test Coordinator)

General Responsibilities

1. Cumulative final tests given at the end of a semester grading term (including trimester

and quarter course schedules) are required for all students in courses which award

one-half credit or more. Teachers and departments are encouraged to use a variety of

measurement tools (short answer, constructed response, performance tasks) to fully

evaluate students, however, for courses assessed with a district or state (EOC) final, only

the raw score or equivalent percentage from the district/state final is recorded in

the “final exam” category* in the Infinite Campus grade book.

*Note: For some middle school courses, a separate grading task will be created for Term

2 and Term 4 in which to record results from the district common final test.

2. All students enrolled in sections of a tested course are expected to take the final

exam for the course without modifications. Participation is required of all students

including those in special programs. Students with an IEP, Section 504 Plan, and/or are

current EL or former EL students, should have allowed designated supports and testing

accommodations documented and communicated well in advance, indicating how they

will participate in the assessment.

3. Communicate course expectations, including information about final exam preparation

and test day procedures to students and families.

4. Maintain security and confidentiality of test materials. All courses*.

*Math 6-8 Courses: See test specific guidelines regarding security and management of

the middle grades math finals test materials.

Do NOT read, review, copy, reproduce, take notes on, or in any way capture or share

test item content. Disclosure of test content is strictly prohibited. Photographing,

recording, or transmitting any part of a test or testing session is PROHIBITED.

STC—Receive and inventory test booklets. Compare the contents of each box using

the inventory sheet included with the box (or boxes) of test booklets. If there are

discrepancies or a shortage of materials, immediately call the Department of

Assessment at 348-0248. District finals are delivered by WCSD Warehouse. End of

Course (EOC) finals are shipped from Data Recognition Corporation (DRC). Note:

Additional materials orders for EOC finals require at least 2 weeks for processing.





STC—Store secure test booklets, test tickets (DRC INSIGHT), test security and test

administration documentation in the school secure testing storage location. Do not

distribute test booklets until the first day of testing. Note: Keep EOC test booklets in

shrink-wrapped packaging until just before the testing window opens. Extra test

booklets should remain in sealed packages.

PRIOR TO THE DAY OF THE TEST:

1. Determine test administrator assignments. For district-wide and statewide assessments,

test administrators must be licensed Nevada educators employed in WCSD as a certified

teacher or in the position of a long-term substitute filling a vacancy (not hired through

AESOP).

Test administrators and assisting proctors must participate in annual training in the

Primer, view the NDE Test Security and Administration Training video, and sign the

associated acknowledgment forms (www.washoeschools.net/Page/1248).

STC—Contact Assessment Support to verify if a current substitute teacher may be

authorized to administer district and state assessments.

STC—The school test coordinator should be available to support all testing rooms

during large-scale administrations and should not be assigned to proctor testing.

2. Read all directions (TAM) for the test administration and review test security

procedures and professional responsibilities detailed in the annual WCSD Primer. If

providing read aloud (human reader) or scribe supports and accommodations, read the

associated guidelines. The Confidentiality Agreement Form must be read and signed by

all staff assigned to read the test aloud, act as a scribe, transcribe student responses for

scoring, or provide other accommodations that may allow access to secure test content

including student responses.

TA—Highlight and flag sections that must be read aloud (test day script) to students

for the tests you will administer. Review the script and ask questions during training as

needed.

Review “Tips to Maximize Testing Time for Students” included at the end of this

manual.

3. Attend school test administration training. Discuss responsibilities, procedures for test

security and test administration, accommodations and supports for testing, scheduling,

logistics, plan for providing extended time, procedure for reporting irregularities, etc. This

is the time to check for understanding and ask questions.

4. STC—Inform all staff of the testing schedule, emergency procedures during testing, and

expectations for maintaining an appropriate testing environment and controlling against

disruptions (e.g. use of P.A. system, unauthorized entry to testing rooms, receiving late

students).

5. Communicate essential information to students and families including: schedules for

testing, policies for electronic devices and personal items in the testing environment,


http://www.washoeschools.net/Page/1248




expectations for academic integrity and consequences for cheating, plagiarism or other

prohibited behaviors, attendance requirements, grading and reporting timelines, and final

test make-up procedures.

6. Read/review instructions for creating answer sheets through the assessment and data

management system, SchoolCity. Rosters in SchoolCity are updated weekly based on

student schedules (course enrollment) in Infinite Campus.

7. TA—Print answer sheets from the SchoolCity system for each tested class. Note: If

there is an option to choose GradeCam answer sheets, a document camera is required

for scoring. Closely check the answer sheets for each class to make sure the correct

course title, semester, and school year (Assessment or Test Name) is listed on the

answer sheet. The answer key is stored in the QR code/barcode at the top (SchoolCity)

or the Form Identifier code at the bottom (GradeCam). Make enough copies of the unique

course/period for each student in the class. Print the Generic Bubble Sheet and write in

the name and student number for any students enrolling late and not already on the

roster. An unused copy of the Generic Bubble Sheet and unused course/period-specific

answer sheets must be provided to the school test coordinator for make-up test

administration. SchoolCity support--contact: [email protected],

(348-0248)

8. In addition to attendance rosters for documenting participation, print testing room log

sheets to document all persons entering/exiting the room during the testing period,

and to record incidents of irregularities.

9. Prepare the testing room. Remove or cover any unauthorized aids (e.g. information

displayed on bulletin boards, chalk/dry-erase boards, charts, posters, and other materials

on walls or desks) that students could use as cues or triggers and assist students in

answering questions. When in doubt, cover it up or remove it. See: 2019-2020 Primer

10. Review calculator policies, guidelines and procedures. Calculator usage is

determined by the specific constructs being assessed on each assessment. If using

school provided graphing calculators (Algebra 2 finals), clear calculator memory prior to

the test date.

Note: Calculator Clearing Guidelines are provided as a separate document and must be

kept secure. These guidelines are namely for courses testing with the use of a graphing

calculator and not for general distribution.

Calculators allowed for testing by course and semester:

Course or Test Semester 1 Semester 2

Math 6 No Calculator Basic or Scientific Calculator

Math 7 Scientific Calculator Scientific Calculator

Math 7-8 Scientific Calculator Scientific Calculator

Math 8 No Calculator Scientific Calculator

Algebra 1 (all courses) Scientific Calculator Scientific Calculator

Geometry (all courses) Scientific Calculator Scientific Calculator

Algebra 2 (all courses) Graphing or Scientific Calculator Graphing or Scientific Calculator






Course or Test Semester 1 Semester 2

Biology No Calculator No Calculator

NV EOC ELA No Calculator No Calculator

NV EOC Math I (Alg 1 S2) Scientific Calculator Scientific Calculator

NV EOC Math II (Geo 2) Scientific Calculator Scientific Calculator

ON THE DAY OF THE TEST:

1. STC—Count out one test booklet for each student assigned to a testing room or session.

Provide one additional test booklet for test administrators providing read aloud

support/accommodation. Test tickets for DRC INSIGHT are specific to each student.

TA/STC—Follow a check-out and check-in system to record who has which test

booklets (or test tickets) at all times. Test booklets (and test tickets) must never be left

unattended in classrooms, in teacher’s office boxes, or handed off to any unauthorized

persons. All inventory and exchanges of secure test materials must be

documented and supervised by the school test coordinator.

Home/Hospital teachers administering district or state assessments off-site must

personally check-out and return secure test materials within the same school day.

Secure test materials must not be left in vehicles or stored in any off-site location.

2. All students should have the opportunity to test under similar conditions. Post a

“Testing” sign on the classroom door to discourage interruptions.

3. Students must be supervised by authorized educational personnel (NV licensed educator)

while having access to secure test materials.

4. Provide all materials required for testing. Because students may not have access to

personal items during testing, require students to have all permissible materials set out

on their desk before distributing test booklets. For all paper administrations of district

common math, biology, and NV EOC finals:

Students must use pencil only (No. 2) on their answer sheet and should have an

eraser on hand. Stray marks or partial erasures on the answer sheet may present

issues during scanning and scoring.

Highlighters and colored pens or pencils may be used in the test booklet only.

Separate scratch paper is not permitted unless specified for a particular test. Ample

space is provided next to test items. Students are to work out problems and do any

figuring or scratch work on the pages of the test booklet.

Test booklets must remain intact. Reference or math formula sheets must not be

removed or torn from test booklets. If a page is separated or torn from the test booklet,

insert the page where it belongs. A test returned with missing, loose, or containing

extra pages may be invalidated.

5. Possession of personal electronic devices is strictly prohibited for all students and

staff during the testing period. Cell phones, iPods, eReaders, Smart Watches, etc. must





be turned off and collected or stored away from students prior to distributing test

materials. Follow security procedures for students with accommodations authorizing use

of medical devices, assistive technology, and specialized calculators during testing.

Students may not access electronic devices and personal items until after testing

materials for ALL students have been collected and accounted for by the test

administrator, and the testing period has ended.

Note: Test materials for students requiring extra time in a different location must be

collected, transferred to and transported by authorized educational personnel.

Use efficient procedures for the collection, temporary storage, and return of non-

permissible personal items brought in by students to maximize the time allotted for

students to test.

DO NOT return personal items to a student until after they have completed testing.

6. Inform students of consequences for cheating and possession of electronic devices or

other non-permissible materials. Consequences for cheating and other prohibited

behaviors include invalidating the test and school disciplinary action. Invalidated tests will

receive a score of zero. There are no test retakes for district or state (EOC) final exams.

7. Students may not receive assistance beyond making certain they understand test

directions.

8. Students may not provide assistance of any kind to other students.

9. Calculators, other tools and materials may not be shared between students during a test.

10. Read the TAM (Test Administrator’s Manual) script and authorized supplemental

scripts verbatim, and adhere to all instructions.

Test questions may NOT be translated into another language. Directions and read

aloud accommodations or supports must be delivered in ENGLISH only, with the

exception of a sign language interpreter for deaf and hard of hearing students.

11. Encourage students to attempt all test items but be careful not to imply that they should

randomly guess. Inform students that blank answers will be marked wrong.

12. If a student reports an issue with a test item, tell the student to respond to the question

and that the item will be reported. Note the test name and item number on the test

session log sheet and notify the school test coordinator when returning materials that

same day. School test coordinators must report test/item issues to the Department of

Assessment (Assessment Support) immediately or on the same day a report is received.

13. Circulate throughout the room. Actively monitor students to ensure they are working

independently and adhering to procedures. Test administrators and proctors must not

engage in other activities (e.g., grading assignments, checking email, reading, working

on/using computing and other electronic devices, any activity that takes attention away

from students) during test administration.





AFTER TESTING:

1. Collect and account for all materials—test booklets including all pages, school

calculators, pencils, patty paper (Geometry tests), test tickets (DRC INSIGHT) and

scratch paper for online tests, etc. Prepare to return used and unused test booklets in the

order received. Collect materials provided for accommodations. Clear student owned

calculators and AT device(s), and check bilingual dictionaries for written notes. Test

materials and information from the test must be secured. Students are to leave the room

with only their personal belongings.

2. Before students are dismissed from the testing room, ensure that the numbers of

collected test booklets and answer sheets, (or test tickets for DRC INSIGHT), match

exactly the quantities that were signed out from the school test coordinator and distributed

to students.

3. As soon as possible and before the end of the school day, report all incidents and

irregularities from the test administration to the School Test Coordinator or Principal.

The designated site administrator must report testing irregularities to Assessment

Support. If an incident involved suspected or confirmed student cheating, keep separate

all related evidence including used test booklets and answer sheets.

4. At the conclusion of testing for the day, follow school procedures for sorting test materials,

and return all test booklets IN NUMERICAL ORDER to the school test coordinator or

designated site administrator.

TA—Indicate to the school test coordinator which students were absent and need to

make up the test. Return the individual and generic student answer sheets to be kept

for make-up testing.

STC—Separate out three or more unused test booklets from each test given to use for

make-up administrations. Note the serial number on the test booklet (or number of

EOC finals test booklets) kept for the make-up window and provide this information to

Assessment Support.

Test materials must be locked in the school’s secure testing storage each night.

Test booklets and test tickets must NOT be stored overnight in classrooms. Following

testing and before teachers leave campus each day, all secure test booklets and test

tickets must be returned and checked in to the school test coordinator or designated

site administrator.

5. TA—Organize answer sheets by class and section, and score them as soon as possible

(SchoolCity Scan). For assistance, contact: [email protected]

Answer sheets from district common finals must be scanned using SchoolCity Scan or

GradeCam applications only. Scanning or creating an electronic copy of used

answer sheets in any other system is a violation of test security. Once scanned

and any errors have been corrected, results must be uploaded to SchoolCity Suite for

reporting.

Do not score answer sheets while students are present. Answer sheets must only

be scored (including SchoolCity Scan and GradeCam options) by the teacher.






Report unresolved errors in scanning to Assessment Support, 348-0248.

Incorrectly imported assessment data must be removed from the SchoolCity system to

ensure accurate reporting.

Securely store used answer sheets IMMEDIATELY after the testing session and

after scoring. Leaving answer sheets out in the open is a violation of test security and

may result in the invalidation of student scores, or an opportunity for students to cheat.

Following scoring, return* used answer sheets from district common finals and NV

EOC finals to the school test coordinator.

*Math 6-8 Courses: Teachers will retain used answer sheets. Securely store (locked

storage with limited access) used answer sheets in the classroom through the end of

the school year, then discard by shredding.

6. STC—Securely store, in the school’s secure testing cabinet, all used and scored answer

sheets through next quarter (approximately 9 weeks into the subsequent school term).

Discard used answer sheets, patty paper, test tickets and scratch paper by shredding.

7. STC—Organize and return test books in-person (hand-deliver) to the Department of

Assessment according to published return schedules. Secure test books must never be

transferred or returned through school mail. Do not leave test booklets in an

unattended vehicle.

Return all large print, Braille, and other special print test materials to the Department of

Assessment.

Unused test booklets for make-up administrations must be kept in the school’s secure

testing storage and returned immediately after the standard 3-week make-up window

closes. Contact Assessment Support regarding students with extenuating

circumstances.

During each exchange, secure test materials may be supervised and handled by

authorized school and district staff only. Do not hand-off secure test materials to

unauthorized persons. Contact Assessment Support if someone other than a site

administrator will be returning secure test booklets to the district.





Accessibility: Designated Supports and Accommodations

Designated supports and accommodations for testing allowed on district common finals in

math and science, and Nevada End of Course (EOC) finals in ELA and math, are consistent

with those allowed for Nevada state criterion referenced tests (CRT) in the same content

areas. Access forms, approved resources, and guidance for testing accommodations and

designated supports on the district website: https://www.washoeschools.net/Page/3568.

For all students, designated supports and accommodations provided for testing must be

documented and consistent with those regularly used by the student during instruction and on

other assessments. An accessibility support should not be used solely during assessments.

Note: Providing students with accessibility supports that are not truly needed may have a

negative impact on performance.

1. Designated supports and accommodations for testing must be listed in the student’s IEP,

Section 504 Accommodations Plan, or EL supports plan. Note: For English learner

students with a documented disability, all designated supports, accommodations, and

language supports afforded the students must be listed in the IEP or 504 Plan for that

student.

2. Teacher/TA—Review each student’s IEP, Section 504 Plan, and/or EL Plan with the

school test coordinator to ensure each student’s accessibility needs are provided for

during testing. General education students may be afforded designated supports on

summative assessments.

3. Prior to the day of a test, teachers should work with the school test coordinator to ensure

that test administrators and proctors know what accessibility supports each student will be

using and how to administer them properly.

4. Changes to the testing environment or “local arrangements” may be appropriate for one or

more students with or without an individual plan. Supports include separate setting,

individualized testing, specialized furniture, or a noise buffer (i.e. individually worn noise

blocker or dampener). These do not include noise machines or music, fidget toys, or other

items that may be distracting or disruptive to the testing environment.

5. Contact Assessment Support to discuss student needs for accommodations not already

authorized or generally allowed.

MODIFICATIONS ARE PROHIBITED:

Testing modifications are changes made to the testing process or to the content of the

assessment itself that may change, lower, or reduce learning expectations. Testing

modifications may also alter the underlying construct of the assessment. Certain

accommodations may become modifications, depending on the purpose and design of the

test. Testing modifications affect the validity of the test results.

No notes. Prepared notes in any form or of any content are not permitted.

Tests may not be modified. Do not shorten or remove items. Test administrators may

not provide simplification, clarification, or explanation of test questions/items.


https://www.washoeschools.net/Page/3568




Grades may not be modified. Only raw scores will be entered into the grade book.

Contact Assessment Support regarding supports listed in a student’s plan that are not

specifically allowed for use on district common finals.

COMMONLY USED ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORTS:

1. Extended Time. Students with extra time, additional time, or extended time written into

their IEP, 504 Plan, or EL Plan (EL and former EL in monitor status) may be allowed

extended testing time equal to time-and-a-half or 150% of the allotted time for all students.

Some IEP and Section 504 eligible students may have an accommodation for double time

or 200% of the allotted time for the test.

a. For all students receiving extended time or double time on paper administrations of

district common finals and NV EOC finals, 1) test must be completed within the same

school day, and 2) prevent students from returning to previous items or changing

responses after an unsupervised break or if released to another class and returning

afterward to finish testing.

b. Online tests that do not have a break point must be completed in one supervised

testing period (no unsupervised breaks). For the timed Biology Honors final

(SchoolCity), contact Assessment Support to request extended time or double time for

individual students. The NV EOC ELA Part 2 test in DRC INSIGHT is not timed.

2. Human Reader, Scribe. Designated supports and accommodations for testing that allow

the test administrator access to secure test content, including test items and student

responses, requires authorized personnel to sign the Confidentiality Agreement Form

prior to testing. Download forms from the district website:

http://washoeschools.net/Page/3568

a. A student may dictate math, science, or ELA non-writing item responses to a scribe.

b. A student may be provided read aloud assistance in ENGLISH only or an interpreter

may sign using ASL or Signed-Exact-English for test items, excluding ELA reading

passages.

c. ELA reading passages may be read aloud for students with a documented

accommodation in their IEP or 504 Plan for reading of all text and passages. Note:

This accommodation may be appropriate for fewer than 2% of students.

d. For online administrations using SchoolCity or DRC INSIGHT, Text-to-Speech may be

enabled for students who need text read aloud.

3. Language Supports and Accommodations.

a. EL (and former EL in monitor status) students may use a bilingual word-to-word style

dictionary on math and science tests.

b. Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH) students may use a word-to-signed symbol style

dictionary on math and science tests.






4. Personal Electronic Devices. Must be documented in the student’s IEP or 504 Plan as a

needed accommodation. Students may have access to or use:

a. Medical devices authorized for use in the testing environment: If the student requires

access or proximity to an active mobile phone/device for medical monitoring, the

mobile device must be placed on a table or desk near the student, but not within reach

of the accommodated student or other students in the testing room. Access to the

device must be supervised by the test administrator. At the conclusion of testing, the

test administrator must verify in writing that the device was not used to access the

internet, other applications including social media, take pictures or video, or send

communications.

b. Assistive technology (AT) and specialized calculators (i.e. Braille, talking) authorized

for use during testing. Applications including internet or camera access must be

disabled prior to testing. At the conclusion of testing, the test administrator must verify

in writing that the device was not used to access other applications. Clear (delete,

erase) student responses and test content from AT devices and calculators

immediately after testing.

Download forms for certification of proper use from the district website:


5. Visually Impaired Students. Request specially formatted test materials 6 or more weeks

before testing.

a. For online administrations using SchoolCity or DRC INSIGHT, plan for the student to

work through the available practice or training tests to ensure they are able to fully

access the test on the computer. If magnification tools, computer settings, and

compatible assistive technology are not sufficient, then a paper option may need to be

requested.

b. TC—Contact Assessment Support to request print test materials for students requiring

large print, Braille, or other special print formats. Submit requests for special print

materials at least 6 weeks before the testing window opens. All printed versions of

secure test booklets must be returned to the Department of Assessment.






Test Administration Instructions

Read prior to testing. Highlight text for quick review of important details.

Use a seating chart to manage the testing environment and student participation, and

protect against threats of cheating and theft.

Gather student’s personal items or direct students to store items in a designated

location. Place all personal materials and belongings, including backpacks, purses,

jackets, water bottles, food items, electronic devices, etc., in a secure, easy to monitor

location in the room away from students and their desks. During testing, students may

not access personal items.

Non-permissible devices and materials are strictly prohibited unless specified in

the student’s IEP, Section 504 Plan, or EL Plan. Check with the School Test

Coordinator as needed.

Workspaces must be cleared of all non-permissible materials, and students focused

and quiet before distributing materials required for testing (i.e. No. 2 pencils, allowed

calculator, patty paper for geometry tests, answer sheet and test booklet, scratch

paper for online testing, test ticket for DRC INSIGHT).

Read aloud the script verbatim and answer any questions students may have.

Continuously walk around the classroom and monitor the students.

Students may be reminded not to spend too much time on any one item or that when

they finish, they should go back and check their answers. Otherwise, observe and

monitor, but do not interfere. Announce when there are 15 and 5 minutes remaining.

To help with security and materials management, collect testing materials from

students as they finish the test, checking for any loose pages, and clear

calculators if applicable. Continue to monitor students.

Students who have finished may not access personal belongings until after all test

books, materials and answer sheets are collected and the testing period is ended.

Follow the school’s plan for additional time requests and students with extended time

accommodations. Let these students know what they will be doing and direct them

accordingly. DO NOT ALLOW students to transport their own test materials.

High School Course Finals: Students, including students testing with

accommodations, must complete the test the same day it is started.

Immediately following the end of the scheduled testing period and before dismissing

students or transitioning: 1) Collect all answer sheets, test booklets, and other testing

materials from students, and 2) Clear data from all graphing and programmable

calculators.

High School Course Finals: After completing testing for the day, return all testing

materials to the School Test Coordinator or designated site administrator.





Math 6-8 Finals: Securely store test copies and used answer sheets in a locked

cabinet with limited access. At the end of the school year or earlier, securely discard

(shred) test copies and used answer sheets.





Tips to Maximize Testing Time for Students

*Note: These testing protocols should be utilized during regular classroom assessments as

well to help encourage a secure testing routine.

Communicate Expectations to Students in Advance:

Prior to the day of testing, let students know the amount of time they will have to complete the

exam. While students should not feel rushed and some students may complete the exam in less

time, students will need to pace themselves to finish in the time given.

Communicate to students the importance of being early or on time to class to maximize their

testing time.

Review seating expectations with students and tell students how they will find their seat

assignment on the day of the test.

Tell students in advance that they will need to place personal belongings in the front of the

classroom. This includes turning off electronic devices and placing them in backpacks or giving

electronics to the teacher for safe-keeping during the testing period.

Let students know they will not be allowed to access their personal belongings (except labeled

reading materials) until the end of the testing period.

If print reading materials will be allowed for students finishing their test early, these must be

labeled with student names and collected at the front of the room before testing begins. Inform

students that after turning in their completed test, they may read print material (if allowed for your

school/classroom) or put their head down. No writing/doodling is allowed.

Tell students that they are expected to maintain a quiet and respectful testing environment until

the end of the testing period.

Room Environment:

Check the testing room and remove or cover any unauthorized aids (e.g. information displayed on

bulletin boards, chalk/dry-erase boards, charts, posters, and other materials on walls or desks)

that might provide instruction or assist students in answering questions. For details or further

direction see your School Test Coordinator (see also the 2019-2020 Primer).

Arrange desks to allow for the maximum space possible between test takers. Test takers should

all face one direction and the proctor should be able to see test takers at all times. Use a seating

chart to separate students and discourage prohibited behaviors.

Write instructions on the board for students to read before the class period begins. Detail steps for

placing personal belongings in the designated location, checking in electronic devices and reading

material, etc.

Once the testing period has started, students should remain seated and raise their hand if they

need something from the teacher. As you monitor and walk about the room, carry extra pencils or

tissues to distribute to students at their seat.

Answer Sheets:

Prior to the day of testing, pre-bubble student names (Class Roster answer sheet template) or

check for printed student names (Individual Student answer sheet template) on answer sheets.





This helps eliminate the issue of no-name tests as well as making sure answer sheets are printed

for absent students who will need to make-up the test.

Tip: Before admitting students into the room on the day of testing, place prepared answer

sheets on desks. Instruct students to leave their personal belongings (including electronic

devices) at the front of the room as they enter, taking only their pencil and eraser, then sit at

the desk that has their answer sheet. This helps with strategic placement of students.

Caution: Before distributing test booklets, verify that students are in the correct seat and have

the correct answer sheet.

Clearing Calculators:

If using class sets of calculators, clear them in advance whenever possible. Calculators can then

be placed on desks along with answer sheets prior to students entering the testing environment.

If students are using their own calculators, have them pass them to the front of each row before

testing begins. As students begin testing, the instructor can clear calculators and then hand them

back to students as quickly as possible. Note: A calculator may not be needed for every test item.

If students are using a common calculator model, the teacher may instruct students on how to

reset the calculator memory up to the final reset screen:

Then, the teacher should quickly walk around the room directing each student to press the “Yes”

button, and verifying the memory has been cleared.

When students finish the exam:

During testing, teachers must continuously monitor by walking about the room and observing all

areas of the testing environment. The teacher may collect and organize test materials as students

finish the test, provided they do not disturb or distract students testing. Teachers may also clear

calculators as they walk the room.

Keeping up with collection and organization, and clearing calculators throughout the testing

period helps maintain test security and allows the teacher to be ready for the next testing

period.

To prevent students from feeling rushed as others finish the test, require students to remain in

their seats throughout the testing period. As they finish testing, collect test materials from

students at their seats, minimizing distractions to students still testing.

Students who finish early may put their heads down and rest or they may read print material (no

electronic devices) that has been placed at the front of the room. Students may not access

materials from their personal bags and backpacks for any reason.

Watch for students who will need additional time and be ready to collect their materials quickly

before the period ends.

Students must not access personal belongings until the testing period has ended.





HS/MS—Algebra and Geometry Courses

Test Materials, Timing, Grading and Gradebook Setup

Test Materials:

1. Geometry and Formal Geometry tests only, students may be provided with

tracing/patty paper for the exam. All used and unused tracing/patty paper must be

logged, collected, and securely destroyed after testing.

2. Calculators: Students should use the same calculator during instruction and on

assignments that they will use on test day. Remind students that a calculator may not

be the best tool for all test questions. It may help to do scratch work in the test book

and get their thoughts down before using a calculator. For some questions it may be

better not to use a calculator, even though it is allowed.

Calculators may not be shared during a test. Each student must bring or be

provided with their own calculator to use throughout the testing period.

Scientific calculators (non-graphing, non-programmable calculators) are

allowed/permissible on the Algebra 1 (including foundations and 2-year),

Geometry (including foundations), and Formal Geometry tests

Graphing (programmable) calculators cleared before and after testing are

allowed on the Algebra 2 (including foundations) and Algebra 2 Honors tests;

see calculator clearing guidelines for directions on preparing calculators for

testing

Timing:

Each test is designed to be completed in the standard 105 minutes allotted for finals and a

maximum of 15 additional minutes. See accommodations/designated supports guidance on

extended time for eligible IEP, 504, or EL program students. All students must complete the

test before leaving campus (within the same school day). Students may not return to

previously viewed items or change responses after an unsupervised break.

Grading and Gradebook Setup

I. High School Courses and Middle School ACCEL Algebra 2

Teachers must set up weighted categories in the Infinite Campus grade book. The

weight of the final exam category must be set at 15-20% of the overall semester grade

and must be consistent for all sections of a course within the same school. Grades

from all other assessments and course assignments must be posted in other

categories within the Infinite Campus grade book.

When weighting categories, make sure all category weights add up to 100%.

In courses that administer a Nevada End of Course final (Math I and Math II) at the

end of the second semester or trimester, the grade weight of the final test category is

the same for all schools and is set at 15% for the 2019-2020, school year.





II. Middle School Algebra 1 and Integrated Math II

For courses: 228 Algebra 1, 776 ACCEL Algebra 1, 773 ACCEL HS INT Math II

Teachers of these courses have a separate grading task titled T2 Algebra Final

(semester 1) and T4 Algebra Final (semester 2).

Within the Algebra Final grading task, teachers will create the final exam assignment

and enter the test date, scores, and comment if needed. The Algebra Final grading

task is weighted 15% of the semester grade. Term 1, 2, 3, and 4 Overall Grade

grading tasks are weighted equally to each other.

III. ALL COURSES, final test “assignment” entries:

For the assignment Name, use the course name, semester, and “Final”. Example:

“Algebra 2 Honors S1 Final”. For End of Course finals, use the name of the test (i.e.

Math I EOC Final, Math II EOC Final).

The Due Date/Assigned Date should reflect the test administration date and may vary

by class period.

The Pts Poss column is based on the points possible for the test as reported in

SchoolCity, and must be entered exactly the same into the Infinite Campus gradebook

by all teachers of that course.

The Score and % column will vary by student and should match the exact raw score

reported in SchoolCity.

IV. INC/Incomplete Grades and Make-up Administrations

Students who are absent and do not make-up the semester (or trimester) final exam

before the end of the grading period must* be given an incomplete for the semester

grade in accordance with these procedures.

a. In the final exam assignment “Score” column, enter the score “M” for “missing”.

This score (M) will equate to a zero raw score and be calculated into the overall

grade.

b. In the grade detail “Comments” for the final exam assignment, enter or select

“*Missing”.

c. In the Semester Grade grading task, enter “INC” for “incomplete. The overall

percentage will still be visible, but no credit will be given.

d. Select the report card comment, “See instructor to make-up final/semester

exam.” (Grading Comments, code 40)

*Note for 2c and 2d: If the overall semester performance for a student is failing, and

making up the final exam will not improve the overall grade to a passing grade, the

teacher may proceed with assigning a grade of “F” in step 2c. Do not apply the

grading comment in 2d. The grade will post as an “F” and no credit will be

awarded.

Work with the school test coordinator to ensure students are provided the opportunity

to make-up missing final exams.
