• The Department's Student Assessment Section recommends that the size of the scratch paper be 8 1/2 x 11 because students will need to place it next to their computers/laptops along with the mathematics reference sheet (grades 4-8 and 10 only) and a hand held four function calculator. The blank paper may be white or any color that is light enough so that students can see whatever they write or draw on it. All students must use blank scratch paper during the administration of the Mathematics Assessment. Recycled paper that is blank on one side and has something printed on the other side may not be used. Lined paper, graph paper, tracing paper, and paper with boxes for students' calculations may not be used for the Mathematics Assessment because they were not allowed during the field testing of the mathematics items and all students must be tested statewide using standardized mathematics tools and procedures to ensure that none of them are given an unfair advantage in answering the test questions.

• Notice: The text-to-speech tool was created using Windows XP and it is recommended that students who will use this tool during the administration of the Mathematics and Science Assessments use a computer configured with Windows XP. If this is not an option, it is recommended that the voice package on each computer be checked by the appropriate staff members while students are taking the training test for one of the content areas to confirm that the automated voice is clear. These computers should be used by students who will use the text-to-speech tool during online testing. Added 10/7/2011
