PREIDENTIFIED ROSTER AND LABELS
•
The student information generated by the vendor is based on
students enrolled at your school as of January 21 2011.
 A Control D report was generated with the PreID file information
•
Verify the information on the PreID Roster against the school’s
student information database.
•
Verify that students are still enrolled and will be tested.
•
The PreID Roster includes the complete Social Security Number
(SSN) or Florida Student Number for each preidentified student.
 Only the last four digits of the SSN preceded by five Xs and followed
by one X (XXXXX7884X) are printed on the PreID labels.

•
You are NOT required to grid the missing numbers of a SSN.
Always use the Florida ID number, not the District’s student ID
number when verifying student’s information or when hand-gridding
an answer document.

Test Invalidation
Policies and Procedures
• Purpose of test invalidation is to identify when the validity of
test results has been compromised.

and the situation should be investigated immediately.
• A test MUST be invalidated if any of the following
circumstances occur:
 A student has an electronic device during testing.
 A student is cheating during testing.
 A student is disruptive during testing.
• Return ALL invalidated tests with the DNS bubble(s) gridded
with all other TO BE SCORED (red-labeled) materials.
 This will ensure that the student’s record is on the electronic file,
but the student will not receive a score.
72
W_TAM 15

Defective Materials
Test Books
• If a defective test book is identified before
testing, give the student a replacement book.
 Return defective books with the NOT TO BE
SCORED materials.
• If a student discovers he/she has a defective
test book during testing, give the student a
replacement test book with the same form code.
 If the same form code book is not available, give the
student a book with any form code, and bubble the
replacement form code on the student grid sheet.

Clarification for Score Reporting
• Students must take both sessions (session 1 and 2) in
order to receive a score.
 If a student is absent and unable to make-up one of the two
sessions, then you will need to invalidate the answer document.
• Only one answer document per student for each
subject-area test may be submitted for scoring.
 If a student has to make-up a session, all responses from both
sessions must be in the same answer document.
 If a student is using multiple learning media (e.g., a student
uses Braille materials and records his or her response in a large
print document), make sure that the student’s complete
response is in ONE answer document type.
