Testing Constraints-Main Idea Assessment

The teacher will pass out the test (which is one sheet that contains the five sentence paragraph and space to illustrate the main idea and write a sentence) to student and a cover sheet for each student. Each student will have the same paragraph. Student is not allowed to talk during test administration. The teacher will provide oral instructions and before test administration ask if any student has any questions regarding test. Once the students begin the test, the teacher will set a timer for 20 minutes. If a student finishes before the timer goes off, he/she must sit quietly until the timer goes off.

If a students' pencil breaks they may quietly walk over and get a sharpened pencil. The student is not allowed to use the manual or electric pencil sharpener. Students are not allowed to use the restroom during test time, but in case of an emergency, the student may get up and quietly use the restroom located inside the classroom with no talking.

When the timer goes off, the student is to stop and put pencil down. The teacher will collect test papers and cover sheet.
