Objectives Guiding Principles Case Studies Glossary Description Scheduling accommodations can include reversing the order in which subtests are given. For instance, the student may begin with the math subtest rather than finish with it. Or, a longer subtest may be given first and a shorter subtest given later if this process does not invalidate the test.
Procedure Review a calendar to determine the schedule for the test.
The key is to meet the student's needs while not interfering significantly with the test sequencing. Set the schedule and inform the student of it. Arrange for a secure area. Cautions Changing the order of subtests may interfere with the flow of the test. For example, some tests are designed to start with less complicated questions and end with more complicated ones, so it is important to know what is being measured in any proposed switch.
