Participation counts are the main method for districts to view regular test materials for paper testing, such as test booklets and student response booklets. The regular counts are not editable. The only test materials that can be ordered are the accommodated test materials such as Braille, Large-Print, Text Reader and Audio. As long as the Participation Window for entering accommodations is still open Accommodation counts can be updated, even if the status indicates “complete”. Accommodation counts are not considered final until the closing day of the Participation Window is reached. Accommodated counts can be changed, regardless of the status shown on the screen. Only after the window closes is an order for materials finalized and shipped, based on the participation counts as of the closing date. (See the Test Setup Overview screen for window opening and closing dates.)
