                                                                  Administering Assessment


    Administering tests is one of the  most technical  tasks that a teacher has to carry out. There are a number of procedures to carry out namely:


Scheduling Tests
                               These must be done on a day when no extra curriculum activities are planned . No substitutes are recommended they can cause nervousness and stress in students.


Information for students must be clear about what they may or may not bring to a test.


Academic Dishonesty
                                        Students must be clear on what is and what is not acceptable during a test,also about applied  penalties when caught cheating ., examples of these should be given.


Physical Setting
                                The setting is done based on the capacity of the classroom, basically in rows. Environment   or place  where the test will take place with good light and ventilation and of course noise free.


Test Assembly or Format
                                                Tests should be perfectly typed and stapled.   The instructions of each section clear and concise. 


Initial and final time must be stated. Teachers must be zealous when handing out and taking up tests. Rules  should be set before hand like: no talking during tests, turning off cell phones and raising hands in order to clear up doubts.


Teachers on the other hand are the ones who should prompt students to study and teach the importance for the future.
