Equipment Each pupil will need the equipment specied below: • a blue/black pen or pencil • a rubber (optional). If rubbers are not provided, tell pupils that they should cross out any answers they wish to change. Pupils may use monolingual English electronic spell checkers, provided they do not give denitions of words, or highlighter pens if this is normal classroom practice. Pupils must not use dictionaries. Assistance • You must ensure that nothing you say or do during the test could be interpreted as giving pupils an advantage, e.g. indicating that an answer is correct or incorrect, or suggesting the pupil looks at an answer again. • The English reading test must not be read to individuals or to a group, except for the general instructions below. • There is no specic hearing impairment guidance for this test, but be careful when signing to ensure you do not convey information that could give pupils an advantage. • Guidance for administering the test to pupils with a visual impairment is contained in the relevant modied test pack. • If a pupil asks a question about test content, you must not explain any words or expressions. • The example below illustrates how to deal with a common situation: Q.

Before the test begins • Review the list of pupils with any particular individual needs, e.g. pupils who may need support from a scribe or a transcript made at the end of the test.

What to do at the start of the test • Check that seating is appropriately spaced and that no pupil can see another pupil’s answer booklet. • Check that pupils don’t have mobile phones or other disruptive items. • Check that pupils don’t have any materials or equipment that may give them extra help. • Ensure that each pupil has a copy of the reading booklet and a copy of the reading answer booklet.

This is the English reading test: Paper 2. Paper 2 doesn’t contain any practice questions and I’m not going to read any of the pages aloud to you this time. There will be dierent types of questions to answer, including: • writing an answer on a line • putting a tick in a box next to the answer you think is correct • putting ticks in a table to show if an answer is true or false. Each question has a page number above it in brackets. This is the page in the reading prompt where you can nd the information you need to answer the question. The test will take around 40 minutes. Try to answer as many questions as you can. If you can’t answer a question, you should move on to the next one and come back to it later on if you have time. If you start to nd the reading or the questions too hard, you should stop working. If you want to change an answer, you should rub it out or put a line through the answer you don’t want to be marked. You need to work quietly on your own. You need to think of your own answers and you must not discuss them with anyone else. Read the questions carefully and check your work. If you have any questions during the test, put your hand up and wait for me/ someone to come over to you. Remember, I/we can’t help you answer any of the test questions or read any of the words to you. Do you have any questions? Write your name on the front of the answer booklet. Now start the test.

How to deal with issues during the testIt is impossible to plan for every scenario. Whatever action you take, pupil safety must always be your rst consideration. In the following circumstances, you will need to stop the test either for an individual pupil or for the whole cohort: • test papers are incorrectly collated or the print is illegible • an incorrect test has been administered • a re alarm goes o • a pupil is unwell • a pupil needs to leave the room • a pupil is caught cheating. If you need to stop the test: • make a note of the time • make sure pupils are kept under test conditions and that they are supervised • if pupils have to leave the room, ensure they don’t talk about the test • speak to your test co-ordinator or a senior member of sta for advice about what to do next • consider contacting the national curriculum assessments helpline on 0300 303 3013 for further advice. You should brief your headteacher on how the incident was dealt with once the test is over. What to do at the end of the test • Follow your school’s procedure for collecting and storing pupils’ test scripts. • If any test papers from the opened pack are unused, they must be stored securely and may be used for any subsequent administration of the test at your school. • All test materials, including reading booklets and any unused test papers, must be stored securely until Monday 3 June. • If you need to make a transcript of a test script, complete it with the individual pupil at the end of the test, under test conditions. Particular care should be taken to ensure accurate transcriptions are made and the pupil’s answers are not corrected or amended.
