Good Test Administration Practices
• Good testing practices rest in the hands of the examiner, who
should ensure the testing exercise, runs smoothly.
• The period before the test, during the test and after the test
should be effectively managed to realize a highly efficient
testing period.

5. Before the Test

6. Period before the test
• Security of testing instruments: All test materials used in the
assessment process, whether paper-and-pencil or computer-
based must be kept secure.
• Test security is also a responsibility of test developers to ensure
the test is not compromised over time.
• E.g: keep testing materials in locked rooms or cabinets and
limit access to those materials to staff involved in the
assessment process.

7. Period before the test
After securing an adequate number of tests, the following considerations should
be part of prior preparation checklist:
• Examinees and parents have been notified regarding the test date and
time.
• Candidates have been reminded to bring materials necessary for the test.
• All students with special needs (e.g. glasses and hearing aids) have been
considered before the start of the test.
• All adequate invigilation has been planned.
• Examination administrators have read appropriate test administration
procedures such as timing, examination regulations and test
modifications.

8. Period before the test
• The rooms where the test is to be conducted have adequate ventilation
and lighting and have been properly arranged.
• Seats are arranged in such a way that candidates cannot look at each
other’s work.
• Candidates have been thoroughly prepared for the examination by
suggesting to them ways of studying, giving them practice tests like
those to be used, teaching them test taking skills and stressing the value
of tests as for improving learning
• When all is set for the exam, secure the room, including the writing
“Testing in Progress, Do not Enter”.

9. Period during the Test

10. Period during the Test
The following are guidelines that need to be observed to ensure
required conditions for successful testing are fulfilled:
• Observe precision in giving instructions or clarifications.
• Avoid interruptions.
• Avoid giving hints to students who ask about individual items.
• Discourage cheating.

11. Period during the Test
• Ensure that no eating takes place in the examination hall.
• Identify each examinee to prevent a situation where someone
may attempt to take the examination on someone else’s behalf.
• Handle emergencies appropriately.
• Inform students on progress of testing.

12. Period after the Test

13. Period after the Test
• Orderliness is needed for a successful testing process until all the test
materials are securely in the hands of the test administrators.
• After the completion of the examination, the following are expected;
a) All test materials and documents, both used and unused should be
collected and accounted for. They may be kept in a secure and lockable
facility.
b) Count through candidates’ scripts to ensure their number corresponds
with the names on the examination attendance register. Counting also
eliminates scenarios where the attendance register shows a student
attended an examination but his or her script is not available.

14. Conclusions
Therefore, during test administration process;
• All examinees should be accorded a fair chance through the provision of
conducive physical and psychological environment.
• Candidates involved in the examination should develop positive
attitudes, adhere to the rules, and therefore conduct themselves decently
during the examination c) The teachers’ roles must be recognized
because they contribute to the success of examination or test
administration.
• To realize a smooth test administration exercise, the period before,
during and after the test should be carefully managed.
