Test Administrators must allow the exact amount of time allotted for each test session. You must indicate starting and stopping times in a place easily viewable by students during testing, and must give the 10-minute warning on time.
Test administrators are allowed to collect test materials once student verifies they are finished with test, and then allow student to read.

Cause for immediate invalidation of test
If a student begins a session and leaves campus without finishing (due to an appointment, illness, etc.), he/she will NOT be allowed to complete that session. No exceptions will be made once the student
