II. INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE TEST

To the Room Examiner:

2
 An important factor that affects performance in a test is the psychological climate in the
testing room. It is important therefore that you be very pleasant during the test. Rapport must be
established with the examinees because they work better when they are relaxed and properly
motivated.

The activities pertaining to the test have to do with: pre-test, test proper and post-test. A
checkbox is provided before the number that indicates a major activity and before the boxed
instructions to be read aloud to the examinees. Put a check mark () inside the box after each
activity/instruction has been done/given. Follow the succeeding instructions strictly to ensure fair
and standardized test administration.

5. In no case shall there be more than 30 examinees in a room.

6. Check the attendance by calling out the names of the examinees from the list, prepared
by the School Principal/Testing Coordinator.

7. Check the identities of the examinees inside each examination room by all means (e.g.
ID, notebooks bearing the examinees name; etc.) using the following procedure:

a. Countercheck the identity through the ID.

b. If ID is not available, ask the examinee to present a notebook or any belonging
bearing his/her name.
c. In the absence of requirements for a & b identification materials, ask his/her
respective classmates inside the Examination Room to attest the identity.

8. Inspect the chairs of the examinees to ensure that only pencils and blank sheets of
paper for computation purposes are there.

9. Instruct them that all belongings are placed in front of the rooms underneath the
blackboard; except the pencils, sharpener and a clean sheet of paper.

2.1.3. Orientation of the Examinees

After the examinees are seated and all chairs are cleared, say:

Good morning everybody. I am (State your name) There are some points you should
remember to follow while taking the test. I shall read each one.

with the examinee in Number 30, giving him/her the highest serial number.

Seats of the latecomers/absentees should be left vacant but the allocated TMs should
be placed in their respective seats to be collected later before the Test Proper starts.

2.1.5. Checking the Test Booklets and Answer Sheets

After each Examinee has received a TB and a set of ASs, say:
Everybody, put the Answer Sheet on your chair/desk. (Wait until everybody has done
this.) Look at your Test Booklets. (Pause.) Check the pages one by one. If you notice any
misprint or a missing page, raise your hand and I will change it.

Pause. Wait until everybody has done this. Then say:

Everybody, look at your Answer Sheet. Find out if there are defects. In case there are,
raise your hand and I will change it.
Pause. Look for raised hands. In case a TB or an AS is defective, the whole set must
be changed. Get this from the regular pack, if there are extras; if none, request the Room
Supervisor to give you the exact number of copies needed from the buffer which is in the
custody of the Chief Examiner. This should be noted in the Examiners Report. When all TBs
and ASs have been checked, keep the unused TBs and ASs in your custody while the test is in
progress, and to be packed with the others upon submission of reports to the Chief Examiner
during the post test.
