  1. During Testing Test Materials Scheduling

  2. Test Forms There is one operational form (items that are included) for accountability. The difference in the number of forms are the pre-test items.

  3. 2014 Testing Times and Items Chart

  4. Test Booklets • Extended Response and Short-Answer Scoring Guides (grade 3-8) • On-Demand Writing Scoring Criteria (grades 5, 6, 8, 10 & 11) • On-Demand Pre-Writing Area (grades 5, 6, 8, 10 & 11)

  5. Test Material Resources Remind teachers to distribute the additional resources for the appropriate test sessions according to directions in the TAMs. • Mathematics Reference Sheets • Writer’s Reference Sheets • Calculators • Rulers • Protractors or Angle Rulers

  6. Calculators Follow the KDE calculator policy. Written policy available on KDE website and in manuals.

  7. Rulers • Rulers are provided by Pearson and are included in the test materials shipment. These rulers must be used for testing. • The rulers may not be modified. • The rulers may be kept and used after testing is completed. Protractors or Angle Rulers are to be available for grades 4 and 7. These are NOT provided by Pearson.

  8. Unapproved Resource Materials • Cell phones, Smart phones • Highlighters • Electronic Devices • Items with Internet accessibility • Graphic Organizers

  9. Who Takes the K-PREP? Required to Test Not Required to Test • Students in the Alternate K-PREP • Student’s skipped grade • Foreign Exchange students • Students enrolled at Job Corp centers • Students with medical or extraordinary circumstancenon-participation requests • 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). • EL students in their second year and later participate in all content areas.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

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

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.
