5 Test Administrator: Before Testing CBT: Conduct Practice Test (ePAT) ALL students MUST complete an ePAT to learn how to use the computer- based system. Even students who participated in a previous computer-based test MUST complete the appropriate ePAT(s) prior to this administration. Students who will take any accommodated computer-based form must take the corresponding TestHear ePAT. Ensure that the following items have been downloaded to each computer that will be used for a practice test. For TestNav: the ePAT Launcher and appropriate test content (Algebra 1 EOC). For TestHear: the accommodated ePAT, which includes the launcher and the test content. ePAT scripts provided in the Winter EOC Manual and under the Resources tab at www.FLAssessments.com/ePATs.www.FLAssessments.com/ePATs 5
