Please review the following policies with your student before testing: * Electronic Devices Policy-Students are not permitted to have any electronic devices, including, but not limited to, cell phones, smartphones, and smartwatches, at any time during testing or during breaks (e.g., restroom), even if they are turned off or students do not use them. If a student is found with an electronic device, his or her test will be invalidated. For information regarding limited exceptions for students with eligible accommodations, see the 2020-2021 Statewide Assessments Accommodations Guide. * Testing Rules Acknowledgment-All tests include a Testing Rules Acknowledgment that reads: "I understand the testing rules that were just read to me. If I do not follow these rules, my test score may be invalidated." Prior to testing, test administrators read the rules to students, and students acknowledge that they understand the testing rules by clicking a checkbox beside the statement in the secure browser. * Calculator Policy-For Mathematics and FSA EOC assessments, calculators may be used during Session 2 and 3 (if applicable) only. For Biology 1 EOC, a handheld four-function calculator may be used. Schools must ensure that handheld calculators meet the specifications published by FDOE. * Leaving Campus-If students leave campus before completing a test session (e.g., for lunch, an appointment, illness), they will not be allowed to return to that session. Students and parents/ guardians should be aware of this policy. If a student does not feel well on the day of testing, it may be best for the student to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Spring/Summer 2021 Computer-Based Test Administrator Manual 17 Test Administrator Responsibilities Before Testing * Discussing Test Content after Testing-The last portion of the testing rules read to students before they affirm the Testing Rules Acknowledgment states that because the content of all statewide assessments is secure, students may not discuss or reveal details about the test content (including test items, passages, and prompts) after the test. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, or posting to social media sites. Please make sure that students understand this policy prior to testing and remind them that "discussing" test content includes any kind of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, posting to social media, or sharing online. While students may not share information about secure test content after testing, this policy is not intended to prevent students from discussing their testing experiences with their parents/families. * Working Independently-Students are responsible for doing their own work during the test and for protecting their answers from being seen by others. If students are caught cheating during testing, their tests will be invalidated. In addition, FDOE employs Caveon Test Security to analyze student test results to detect unusually similar answer patterns. Students' tests within a school that are found to have extremely similar answer patterns will be invalidated. If you have any questions related to this test administration, you may contact Mr. Clyde Allen at (850) 488-3364 or email [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
