Outcome Best Practices and understand how to obtain support for the Florida Ready to Work system

Proctoring Tips Keep track of assessments given to participants. Clock shuts down the test for the participant when it times out. Provide scrap paper for Math. Collect at the end of testing. Nothing else on the computer workstation/desk. Participants that show up after the test has been started cannot be added; you may start a new test for them. Must do time extension immediately after you start the test.
