UBSCT Protocol All test booklets and supporting materials associated with the UBSCT are confidential UBSCT test materials are provided to Utah schools with the assumption that they will be treated as carefully as all state assessments from the standpoint of test security. This means that tests should be handled only by qualified personnel, that a system of test accounting should be in place to ensure that booklets are distributed and collected in a systematic fashion, and that all test booklets are accounted for at the conclusion of testing. It is extremely important that all staff involved in the distribution and administration of this test follow the directions for administration very carefully. Under no circumstances should copies of any test be made. District Testing Directors and USOE will contact schools as necessary to locate any test booklets and answer sheets that are unaccounted for. Under no circumstances should actual test questions be taught to students. Such a practice violates the security of the test and is professionally unethical and illegal according to Utah state law. In addition, such unethical instruction inappropriately narrows the curriculum that the students receive and results in testing information that no longer fairly represents what students know and can do. |
and secure. No part of any test booklet may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system. All test booklets (used and unused), answer sheets (used and unused), and UBSCT Test Administration Manuals must be returned to your School Site Coordinator at the completion of test administration each day.
