How to access your Test Plan

If you are assigned a Test Plan as the Teacher or Proctor, a Test Plan should have been provided to you by the administrator. The Test Plan includes the details needed to administer the assessment, including the order of the tests and the student access information (e.g., access codes or QR codes, depending on how the testing has been set up). If you have not received the Test Plan, please contact your administrator.

Preparation

1. Open the administration manual to the test directions.
2. Print the directions if needed.

Logging In

Test Administrators should follow one of the three login methods outlined below.

Important: Consult the Assessment Coordinator prior to test day to confirm the appropriate login method previously arranged.

1. Test Plan PDF Starting Point

   To access the test with the test slip, students can either:

   1. a) Open test with URL

      Direct students to enter the test URL on their test slip in their browser (testaccess.mhs.com) and manually enter the access code on the Login page.

   2. b) Open test by scanning QR code

      Direct students to scan the QR code on their test slip using their testing device.

• Student has no options on the Stop Sign screen for 5 minutes, after which they are presented with another right-facing arrow. They can close the browser/tab at any point on this screen. Clicking the right arrow takes them to the Access Code page. Once they arrive there, they can close the browser or tab.

b) If students have multiple tests assigned

1. For Students Accessing the Test Using Test Slips

   a) If continuing with the next test in the same session, allow a small break before continuing to the next test.

   • Student has no options on the Stop Sign screen for 5 minutes, after which they are presented with another right-facing arrow.
   • Student can either
     • scan the QR code on their test slip again to proceed to the next test, or
     • The student can click the right arrow on the Stop Sign screen to navigate to the Access Code screen and manually type their access code.

   b) If continuing on another day

   • Instruct students to close their browser.
   • Collect access code slips.
2. For Students Accessing the Test Using Direct SSO Access Method with the MHS Student App
   • Instruct students to close browser.

   a) If continuing with the next test in the same session

   • As the Test Administrator, refer to the IF continuing with the next test in the same testing session script for the specified test (Naglieri-V, Naglieri-NV, or Naglieri-Q) located in your Administration Manual and read aloud the black bolded text as written.

   • Students should return to the MHS Student App and access the next test type from there.
   • If the student clicks the right arrow on the Stop Sign screen, then they navigate to the Access Code screen; however, the access code field will not be auto-filled. Therefore, it is best for the student to return to the MHS Student App to access the test link.

   b) If continuing on another day

   • Instruct students to close their browser at the Submit Screen or Access Code screen.

Administration Guidelines

Qualifications for the Test Administrator
The Test Administrator is the individual who will proctor the Naglieri General Ability Tests. Professionals most likely to serve in the role of a Test Administrator include classroom teachers, teachers of gifted and talented students, gifted and talented coordinators, and trained professionals. The Test Administrator must be familiar with all aspects of the instructions and procedures provided here. This person is also responsible for ensuring that the setting and seating of all students will allow each student to work in a comfortable manner.

Grade Range
The Naglieri General Ability Tests are intended for students who are in Kindergarten to Grade 9 with corresponding test forms for each grade level.

Administration Time
Depending on the grade-form, it takes approximately 35 to 40 minutes for the setup and administration of each of the Naglieri General Ability Tests–Verbal (Naglieri–V), Naglieri General Ability Tests–Nonverbal (Naglieri–NV), and Naglieri General Ability Tests–Quantitative (Naglieri–Q). Each testing session should allow for 5 to 10 minutes to log students into the test website, provide a few procedural directions, and guide the students through three practice questions. Students are given a maximum time limit to complete the 40 test questions on each test. See the table below for maximum testing times by grade level. On average, students are able to complete each test within 20 to 25 minutes. The total testing time across all three tests is 90 minutes for Kindergarten to Grade 2, and 105 minutes for Grades 3 to 9.

Breakdown of Testing Time Limits (in minutes)

Grade	Naglieri–V	Naglieri–NV	Naglieri–Q
Kindergarten	30	30	30
Grade 1	30	30	30
Grade 2	30	30	30
Grade 3	35	35	35
Grade 4	35	35	35
Grade 5	35	35	35
Grade 6	35	35	35
Grade 7	35	35	35
Grade 8	35	35	35
Grade 9	35	35	35

Note., Naglieri–V = Naglieri General Ability Tests –Verbal; Naglieri–NV = Naglieri General Ability Tests –Nonverbal; Naglieri–Q = Naglieri General Ability Tests –Quantitative

All three tests can be administered in one day or on separate days. It is recommended that the test be administered on separate days or with a significant break in between testing sessions. When determining how many testing periods to schedule per day, consider the age of the students completing the tests and related logistical issues. For example, younger students may need more breaks. The schedule can always be changed if the students appear fatigued or are having a hard time completing a test.

Repeated Administrations
Testing should not be repeated within a year for any grade. Under certain circumstances, a student who was unable to complete the tests may be retested within a year. The student may have been unable to complete the tests due to student fatigue or any other circumstances that made them unable to continue (e.g., the student asks to stop the test or appears distressed at any point during testing). Results from an incomplete administration are considered invalid and data from this administration should not be saved. Even if the test has been completed, the student may need to be retested due to any Response Style Indicator flags which suggest the student may not have provided reliable and usable data.

Administration Device Options
The Naglieri General Ability Tests can be administered on a desktop computer, laptop, Chromebook, or tablet (refer to Hardware and Software Requirements in this document for specific criteria required to access the testing, scoring, and reporting features). Ensure there is adequate space between each student’s testing device. Note that if the student is using a tablet (for example, iPad or Galaxy) the device must be held in the landscape position to ensure the questions are displayed correctly.

Input Device Options
Students can use a computer mouse, a touchpad, or a touchscreen to select their response. The Test Administrator should be available to assist with inputting responses or to re-orient the student if they disengage from the test. It is permissible for the student to switch from one input device to another (e.g., from touchscreen to mouse) during the test if they have trouble with the original input method. If the student is using a computer mouse as the input device, ask whether they are more comfortable left- or right-clicking and adjust the pointing device settings accordingly. For younger children who do not have experience using a computer mouse, a touchscreen device is recommended.

Administration Settings
The Naglieri General Ability Tests can be administered in a group setting or on an individual basis. The tests are intended to be completed in person and in a quiet location without distraction. There should be appropriate seating for the student in front of the testing device. There must be one Test Administrator to provide directions and it is suggested to have at least one support personnel to assist the Test Administrator per session. Test Administrators should walk around the room during testing to ensure students are completing the tests and have not navigated away from the test or minimized the screen. It is recommended that younger students (i.e., Kindergarten and Grade 1) be tested in a one-on-one or small group setting, when possible, with close supervision by the Test Administrator. Note that the test directions and timing differ slightly for Kindergarten and Grade 1 students. Therefore, it is recommended that students in Kindergarten and Grade 1 be tested separately from students in other grades. Students in higher grades can be tested in larger groups. For Grades 3 to 9, the test directions and timing are the same, so it is possible to combine students within these grades for testing sessions. Always ensure that all students in a given administration are completing the same test (i.e., Naglieri–V, Naglieri–NV, or Naglieri–Q).
