Question Answer If a student proceeds to Prompt 2 or completes Prompt 2 before Prompt 1 time is up, what procedures need to be followed? Test administrators must be vigilant of students clicking to the second prompt before the end of the allotted 75 minutes. Please advise students to wait until instructed to hit the arrow button to move to the next question/prompt. If a student begins on the second prompt before the allowed time period, please follow guidance on page 37 in the TAM regarding students moving to the second prompt. Because it has communicated daily through the ADU, students who do not follow these directions in the TAM must be invalidated. What can be done if accommodations were not set before the student begins testing and the test needs to be reset? If the student has made significant progress through the assessment, an IEP committee MUST meet to determine
have been submitted and will be scored.
