MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT: PREPARATION: The key to successful test administration is careful advance preparation. In particular, attention should be given to the following : MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT: 1. Organize the printing of test booklets and answer sheets in plenty of time. Check that there are no errors or any faulty reproduction. 2. If previously used test booklets are to be employed, check that there are no marks ( for example: underlining ) left by the students. 3. Number all the test materials consecutively; this permits greater security before, during, and after test administration 4. Check that there are sufficient keys for scorers, and that these are free of error. 5. Check that all equipment ( tape recorders, loud speaker system, etc ) is in good working order in plenty of time for repair or replacement.

EXAMINER 6. Detailed instructions should be prepared for all examiners. In these, an attempt should be made to cover all eventualities, though the unexpected will always occur. These instructions should be gone through with the examiners at least the day before the test is administered. 7. Examiners should practise directions that they will have to read out to students. 8. Examiners who will have to use equipment ( for example, tape recorders ) should familiarize themselves with its operation. 9. Examiners who have to read aloud for a listening test should practise, preferably with a model tape recording. 10. Oral examiners must be thoroughly familiar with the test procedures and rating system to be used.

INVIGILATORS 11. Detailed instructions should also be prepared for invigilators, and should be the subject of a meeting with them. CANDIDATES / STUDENTS 12. Every student should be given full instructions ( where to go, at what time, what to bring, what they should do if they arrive late, etc ) 13. There should be an examination number for each student

ROOMS 14. Rooms should be chosen which are quiet, and large enough to accommodate comfortably the intended number of students; there should be sufficient space between candidates to prevent copying. 15.For listening tests, the rooms must have satisfactory acoustic qualities. 16. The lay out of rooms ( placing desks/tables) should be arranged well in advance. 17. Ideally, in each room there should be a clock visible to all students.

ADMINISTRATION 18. Students should be required to arrive well before the intended starting time for the test. 19. Candidates arriving late should not be admitted to the room. 20. The identity of the students should be checked 21. If possible, seat students in such a way to avoid passing information.

22. The examiner should give clear instructions to students about what they are required to do. 23. Test materials should be distributed to students individually by the invigilators in such a way that the position of each test paper and answer sheet is known by its number. 24. The examiner should instruct students to provide the required details ( such as examination number, date ) on the answer sheet or test booklet. 25. If spoken test instructions are to be given in addition to those written on the test paper, the examiner should read these, including whatever examples have been agreed upon.

26. It is essential that the examiner time the test precisely, making sure that everyone starts on time and does not continue after time. 27. Once the test is in progress, the invigilators should unobtrusively monitor the behaviour of candidates. 28. During the test, students should be allowed to leave the room only one at a time, ideally accompanied by an invigilator. 29. Invigilators should ensure that students stop work immediately they are told to do so. Candidates should remain in their places until all the materials have been collected and their numbers checked
