Impact on Field Test WindowField test window is extended for accommodated students as needed for all schools.KDE will work with districts to extend and/or alter the testing window for accommodated students as needed due to materials arriving later than expected.  7 OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019

Seal Codes with Online Testing Unique codes that can be used by test administrators to control student access to each test part.They are secure materials and should be treated as such.Each test section, session and part will have unique seal codes. They will also differ from school to school. However, each student in a session will use the same seal code. Seal codes are located in PearsonAccess next in the resources dropdown in the Students in Sessions window.  Print your seal codes well before the test date using the Internet browser print function. 9 OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019

Seal CodesFor Grade 11 K-PREP there are 2 seal codes for Science, and 2 seal codes for On-Demand Writing. For the Grade 10 Field Test there is 1 seal code for Reading, and 2 seal codes for Mathematics.Seal codes should be written on a board and/or central location for students as the test administrator wishes to open each portion of the exam.Students will enter the seal code when prompted and click ‘start’ to enter each section of the exam. 10 OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019

Test Session RecommendationsTesting for students without disabilities may occur in either a large group or small group setting. Students testing with accommodations should follow standard assessment protocol. If gathering students for a large group setting, please contact your District Technology Staff to ensure your test location can support the number of students you plan to test. Depending on the age of the equipment, Wireless Access Points (WAPs) should be expected to support no more than 25-40 users per WAP. 11 OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019

Monitoring for Field Test and Operational Tests OSAA will be visiting schools this spring monitoring tests at several schools for both the Field and Operational tests .Schools and districts are selected randomly by region.KDE divides the state into North, South, East, West and Central regions. An even number of visits are done per region. Monitoring visits will consist of observations and interviews. 12 OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019

Online Testing Tips and RemindersRemember to keep seating charts for all tests administered, including the Grade 10 Field Test. If for some reason all testing cannot be completed during the testing windows, please contact OSAA for further guidance. 13 OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019

Quick Accommodation Reminders Paraphrasing – Only directions which are not part of the test itself can be paraphrased. Once a test section officially begins no words or content may be altered by the individual providing this accommodation. Non-Standard Response Templates Grade 11 Science   Grade 11 On-Demand Writing Grade 10 Reading (Short Answer – Question #7) Grade 10 Reading (Extended Response – Question #14)  A short-answer box is provided for reading Question 14 in the student response booklet. This is incorrect. For all paper and pencil tests, please use the extended response non-standard response template for student responses. Once the student completes the response, tape the response over the entire page in the SRB. This only affects students taking the paper and pencil accommodated kit test. Students taking the online test are not affected. Grade 10 Mathematics Technology and AccommodationsAudio CD will require a CD player.Text Reader will work on PC, Mac, Ipad and Chromebooks14OSAA:DAAS:DAC Webcast: 04112019
