3Responsibilities of the Testing StaffThe Chief Examiner School Head of the Testing Center4Maintains the security and confidentiality of test materials received from the DTC after getting the TMs from the DTC (test boxes are opened on Examination Day);Accountable and responsible for all TMs received. This ends when the TMs are returned to the DTC;Assigns a room where all REs can be met before and after the test administration (distribution room);Counts all packs of TBs and/or ASs before releasing them to each RE;Records pertinent data about the test materials released to and received from the REs in the Accounting Form (Form 3) and Forms 4, 5, 6 and in the SSH;Distributes the TBs to each RE and reminds him/her to count these without opening the pack and before leaving the room;Reminds each RE that the ETREs are sealed in the Examination Room before proceeding to the Distribution Room for the retrieval phase;Monitors proper accomplishment of the different forms by the RE while the test proper is in progress;Follows the instruction for Accounting and Packing of TMs found at the latter part of the EH;Aware of the details of the testing program to be administered; andOrients every teacher in his/her respective school on the guidelines and EH relative to the test administration.

5Counts the TBs and ASs without opening the plastic bags containing them before proceeding to his/her assigned testing room. Any discrepancy should be acted upon immediately and this should be reported in the CEs Report.Signs Form 3 as he/she receives the TMs from the CE/STC while still in the distribution room.Checks if the examinees have lead pencils to use and a sheet of blank paper for computation purposes;Facilitates the recording of the Examinee Number and Test Booklet Number of the Examinees in the NETRC Form 2 (Seat Plan);

The Room Examiner 6Supervises closely the shading of bubbles in the AS for the non-test items;Follows strictly the EH during test administration;Keeps custody of all the used and unused TBs but are not allowed to read the contents; otherwise, he/she will be given corresponding sanctions based on DECS Order No. 85, s. 1999;Checks the contents of the ETRE before he/she seals it while still in the examination room; andAccomplishes Form 7.The Room Supervisor7Monitors the conduct of the test administration in a testing center with 5 or more testing rooms (NCAE).Checks if the REs adhere to the instructions in the EH.Collects all unused SAS from every RE at the time when the examinees are answering the OIISSS and to indicate in Form 3 the serial numbers of unused Test Booklets and Answer Sheets.Counts and double counts the TBs per pack and the number of ETREs.

Notes:1. The RS must come from another school other than those schools where REs shall be assigned.2. The number of RSs assigned in a testing center will depend on the number of examinees in an examination room.

Below is the ratio:

1 RS is assigned in every 10 rooms if there are 20 examinees/room1 RS is assigned in every 5 rooms if there are 30 examinees/roomThe School Testing Coordinator8Double checks the enrolment data of the school prior to submission to the DTC.

Attends the orientation at the division level in the absence (or in behalf of) of the SH.

Accomplishes the SSH.

Assists the CE in all the testing activities.

Double checks the TMs before final packing, being accountable also on these materials.

Orientation at the Division Level10This is primarily aimed to orient all the testing staff in the NCAE administration. But due to budgetary constraints only one representative per school is authorized to attend--either the SH or the STC. However, a 100% attendance is imposed for the school representative. Sanctions should be meted for non-attendance.

Hence, a mechanism should be devised so that all testing staff are properly oriented; one of which is orienting all the teaching force in the school by the SH/STC to be ready on exam day in case there will be shortage of REs in other testing centers.

A soft copy of the Examiners Handbook and the guidelines must be provided to School Heads to save printing cost.11The Enrolment Data, School ID and Learner Reference NumberGuidelines on the Use of School IDs12BEIS and NETRC are using similar School IDs both recognized by the Department;

New schools without School IDs are given temporary ones by the NETRC and no other sources to avoid duplication and to facilitate allocation of test materials;

The School IDs issued by NETRC will be used temporarily for future test administrations until such time BEIS issues the permanent ID;

In case there are several School IDs for one school, follow the School ID indicated in the Scannable School Header(SSH) and check the correctness of School ID in the TMs received. (Temporary in nature)

Guidelines on the Use of Learner Reference Number (LRN)13Use the LRN that will be provided by the Office of the Planning Service, DepED Central Office.

The LRN must be reflected in each of the examinees AS , Form 1, List of Examinees to be posted at the door.14Test Administration GuidelinesTest Administration Guidelines with Difficulties to be followed by the Testing Staff15Sealing the ETREs by Room Examiners while still at the Examination RoomUsing original plastic bags to contain the used Scannable Answer SheetsLeaving the seats of latecomers/absent-registrants vacant (new)Imposing the use of standard pencils to be used by the examineesPre-Test Guidelines16ConcernGuidelinesDistribution Time for the TestEarly in the morning of Examination date in nearby schoolsMaterials (TMs)A day before the Examination date to far schools or earlier to far flung schoolsPreparation of Classrooms1.

Inform all schools that list of examinees must be alphabetically arranged in the whole school. Each listed examinee should have the corresponding LRN. All males first then the females.2. Private schools without permit to operate are excluded from Test Administration.3. Examinees from small-size private schools can be merged and tested in one testing center in a city or in a municipality. A Master Teacher shall be assigned as the CE.4. Merging of 5 or Less Excess Examinees Large Testing Center- Examinees can be integrated in the last five rooms, each accommodating an examinee.The examinee will be the last in the list/seat plan. Customize Forms 1 and 3 in order to include the additional examinee. Add another box/space. Small Testing CenterIn case merging with other small testing centers is not possible, i.e. 35 examinees only, all examinees may be accommodated in one testing room.Another set of Forms 1 and 2 will be used for the 5 examinees.Note: No integration of excess examinees will be done if there are enough testing rooms and room examiners (coming from other schools) to serve in the testing center.5. There should be a separate ETRE for each school in case there is merging of small size schools into one testing center.6. Rescheduling of the NCAE Instruction from the SDS must prevail since they are most familiar with the status of the school.Pre-Test Guidelines19ConcernGuidelinesInformation Dissemination
