3 Teacher Guide for Scorable epats The purpose of the Item Samplers is to help prepare students for the Tennessee End of Course tests by providing examples of different item types for each that may be tested in any given End of Course administration. The items in these Item Samplers will not be found in the End of Course tests. The number of items in each Item Sampler does not reflect the emphasis of content on the test. In order to identify the emphasis of content, the End of Course Assessment Practice Tests should be used. The Practice Tests give a better representation of content emphasis across Reporting Categories and s. The student should be allowed ample time to read and answer each of the questions and will be able to flag items for later review and return to any item in the test before finally submitting the test for scoring. Once a student submits a test, the test will be scored and a detailed report showing the number of correct and incorrect answers will be generated. Teachers may use the corresponding Key by Reporting Category with Performance Indicator table to identify areas in which a student may require additional instruction. Getting Started To administer an Item Sampler: 1. Enter into your browser to go to PearsonAccess Tennessee. 2. Click on the Support tab. 3. Under Resource Categories select epats. 4. Select EOC. 5. Select the desired Item Sampler. Taking the Test To take an Item Sampler: 1. After clicking the link to the selected Item Sampler, a student will be prompted to type his or her name. 2. After typing his or her name, the student will click OK and proceed automatically to the test directions page. 3. After reading the directions, the student can use the Next button to begin the test. 4. Once the student has reviewed and answered all questions, he or she will proceed to the Review page. After verifying that all questions have been answered, the student will click Continue To Test Overview. 5. On the next screen, the student will click Submit And Exit Test and then select I am finished with this test and want to submit my final answers and then click the green Final Submit button. 6. A detailed response report showing which questions the student answered correctly will be generated. This report can be saved to a designated folder or printed. (A sample of this report is shown on the following page.) Copyright 2011 by State of Tennessee Department of Education and Pearson 3
