Test Book Security Barcode

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

For all questions regarding test booklet security see the DAC/BAC Manual.

Each test booklet has a unique security barcode, located in the upper right corner of the back cover of the test booklet. Using this barcode, test booklets are assigned to specific districts/schools. This provides an accurate means of tracking secure test booklets that are shipped to and returned from the school.

DAC Materials Distribution

Distribution of materials should allow time for BACs to inventory and prepare for teacher distribution.

Test booklets housed in the BAC’s designated area can be double locked. Test booklets housed in classrooms must be double locked.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

12

BAC Materials Distribution Shrink-wrapped packs can be split between

classrooms, but the order of the test booklets should not be changed.

Test booklets should not be distributed to test administrators until the first day of testing.

Ensure that each teacher receives adequate numbers of test booklets and the appropriate pre-printed Student Response Booklets (SRBs).

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

13

Reminders for Teachers Teachers should be strongly encouraged to

follow TAM directions about entering the student’s name on test booklets.

Teachers should verify that each student receives his/her own test booklet and SRB for each testing session.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

14

Test Book Replacement

Assign a new book of the same form as the original.

The original test book should not be returned if damaged with bodily fluids. Contact Pearson to give student name, school grade, test security barcode (back), and form number. Then destroy according to local OSHA requirements.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

Who Takes the K-PREP?

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

• Students in grades 3-8 and 10-11, including those with disabilities

• Students who are retained• Students who move within the state

during testing• Students with a minor medical

emergency• EL students in their first year are

required to attempt mathematics and science (four multiple-choice or one constructed response).

32

K-PREP Scheduling

Testing is to be 5 consecutive instructional days during the last 14 instructional days of the district calendar.

The 5 days are to be done by school level (elementary, middle, high), not by separate grade levels.

Any day a regular test session is scheduled is considered one of the 5 testing days even if only one session is done on that day.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

33

K-PREP Scheduling

All students in a grade/school must take each part of the test at the same time.

Each part is to be given as a separate session with a break in between. Allow for breaks when developing schedule.

Breaks may be short (i.e., stand and stretch) or long (i.e. lunch) with appropriate monitoring.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

34

K-PREP Scheduling

Extended time is allowed only for students with IEPs, 504s or PSPs specifying extended time.

Make arrangements for the extended time in a manner that allows other students to go back to instructional activities.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

At the end of the school day, students with regular and extended time need to have finished the same parts of the test.

35

Make-up Schedule

Make-up sessions can be done during the 5-day window or during the 4 days after the window ends while test materials are prepared for shipping.

It is recommended to schedule a make-up session as soon as is reasonably possible after the missed test session.

Seating charts are required for make-up sessions.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

36

Non-Standard Response

Printed word-processed answer must fit in the answer box.

Trim around and tape response to appropriate area in the SRB.

Tape at least the 4 corners using clear desk tape.

Do not cover other answers, bar codes, or timing tracks with tape.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014


This is where the typed test will go. It will be trimmed around so that it fits completely inside the black box allowed for each test question. The template allows only enough space to complete the question while remaining inside the allowable space. The template can be downloaded from the KDE webpage. Tape must be on the corners of the text being inserted but not covering multiple choice answers, barcodes or timing tracks. Place clear desk tape at least on the four corners of the printed response so the pages are securely in place and will not move around when the booklet is moved, opened, closed, packaged or during shipping. This will ensure proper scoring will occur.

41

Medical Non-participation

Cannot be filed based solely on handicapping condition

A chronic condition with acute changes relative to the testing window is appropriate for filing a request.

Homebound instruction is not a basis for filing a request.

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

42

Medical Non-participation

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

Why can this student not be assessed, if receiving homebound services?

Student diagnosed with severe kidney disease. Treatment course requires heavy medications. Student routinely receives homebound instruction. It is not in the student’s best interest to test at this time.

ØRecent complications around the student’s diagnosis have required medication changes and multiple hospitalizations. Student will be hospitalized during entire testing window.

43

Extraordinary Circumstance Non-participationUsed for situations that don’t fall under medical or emergency

Examples: Traveling out-of-state due to death of family

member

Sole caregiver for parent

KDE:OAA:DSR: 2/2014

44

Non-participation/Emergency Filing

Medical and Extraordinary Circumstance Non-participation forms are to be completed on paper and requested in SDRR.
