Recommended Tests and Administration Sequence
Only one aptitude test per year unless approved by the AIG coordinator (see Request for Individualized Aptitude test in Forms section.)
*K-2 tests listed above are reserved for the grade/subject acceleration process only.
WIAT Information
Kindergarten (use Pre-K/K Record Form): Administer Early Reading Skills, Math Problem Solving and Numerical Operations Subtests
First Grade (Enhanced Standard Record Form): Administer Word Reading, Pseudoword Decoding, Reading Comprehension Problem Solving and Numerical Operations
Second Grade Administer: Word Reading, Pseudoword Decoding, Reading Comprehension ,Oral Reading Fluency, Problem Solving and Numerical Operations
NNAT 2: K-3 will mark in book
Notes:
1. Individual aptitude and achievement tests will be scored using age percentiles.
2. Exception: Grade percentiles will be used when considering grade acceleration or early admission.
3. Off grade level testing is recommended when considering grade acceleration.
4. WIAT: 3rd-5th: Administer: Word Reading, Pseudoword Decoding, Reading Comprehension ,Oral Reading Fluency, Problem Solving and Numerical Operations
NNAT: 4-5 use answer document.
Note: Please administer both Reading and Math subtests during one test administration. It is not a best practice to administer one or the other to students who do not have other achievement scores. The only time to administer testing in one area is when a child already has an achievement score in the other area. This would be true of 4th and 5th graders who have EOG scores in both reading and math. Administration in only one area prolongs the evaluation process, especially if the child does not place with reading and has to be given the math at a later date.
5. Testing Practices: Complete the testing as soon as possible. Determine if morning or afternoon testing time is appropriate for all grade levels. Best Practice: Do not test more than 20 students at a time.
Proctors:
Best Practice: The number of assistants needed for a testing session depends on the maturity of the students and their prior test-taking experience. As a general rule, for Grade 3 and above, one proctor for every 15 students is recommended.
6. Testing Materials: CogAT, WIAT III, OLSAT, NNAT and ITBS testing materials are housed at each school with the AIG Program Chair. Testing materials are to be secured in the same manner as other standardized testing materials. Answer sheets or additional test booklets are to be requested from AIG Office. An end-of-year inventory will be required by each AIG Chair. Do not leave any testing materials unsecured at any time.
7. Test Protocols: Attach a cover sheet (provided by the AIG Support staff member) listing test date, number of students tested in each grade level, and school where the results are to be sent. Add Student ID # (leading zeros), check DOB and ethnicity on tests for accuracy.
Send test protocols or bubble sheets for NNAT2, WIAT-III, ITBS, CogAT, and OLSAT via courier to the AIG Office. Hand delivering tests to the Education Center is not recommended.
AIG Office will keep and file test protocols (bubble sheets) and a copy of test reports in the AIG office. Do not place test protocols in student files.
