Directions for Administration Scripts

The Administer an Online Test Session documents are the scripts that provide instructions for a TA to read to students during test administration. The full-version scripts include—in addition to the instructions and SAY content—background details about test administration as well as screen captures. The script-only abridged version documents, which are approximately half the length of the full-version documents, include only minimal test administration details in addition to the instructions and SAY content (script). A TA can use either the full or abridged document.

Assessment scripts are as follows:

• Smarter Balanced CAT for ELA and mathematics (full version)
• Smarter Balanced CAT for ELA and mathematics (script-only abridged version)
• Smarter Balanced PT for ELA and mathematics (full version)
• Smarter Balanced PT for ELA and mathematics (abridged version)
• CAST (full version)
• CAST (abridged version)
• CSA (full version)
• CSA (abridged version)

The DFAs for the CAAs for ELA and mathematics and the embedded performance tasks for the CAA for Science, which include directions, can be downloaded from the password-protected TOMS.
