a Conducted as the School and College Study of Ad-
mission with Advanced Standing.
b Program responsibility assumed by the College Board.
Conferences
Ten conferences sponsored by the Advanced
Placement Program were held late in June 1959.
These conferences, similar to those of preced-
ing years, were given in accordance with the
Program's aims of developing communication
between school and college and improving the
work done in school and college. The conference
participants included school and college teachers
and administrators who are interested in the
Program, as well as members of the committees
of examiners and readers for the examination.
The 1959 conferences were organized accord-
ing to the following fields of interest and met at
the following institutions: for administrators,
University of Michigan; biology, Chatham Col-
lege; chemistry, University of Denver; English
(eastern conference), Hamilton College; English
(western conference), Reed College; history,
Yale University; foreign languages, University
of Michigan; mathematics, Ripon College; phy-
sics (eastern conference), Rensselaer Poly-
technic Institute; physics (western conference),
California Institute of Technology.
By-products
1. Students and teachers are stimulated to
higher levels of achievement in the school's
regular courses.
2. The Program conferences serve as forums
for the valuable interchange of ideas between
school and college teachers.
3. The Program provides challenging experiences
for able secondary school teachers as well as for
able students.
4. The Program tends to focus on subject
matter and the teaching of subject matter.
5. College teachers who know what the schools
are doing become "duplication conscious" and
review all their courses.
6. Schools and colleges work together in an
effective way, with the colleges showing an in-
creasing interest in what the schools are doing.

JACK N. ARBOLINO
Director of the
Advanced Placement Program
Dear Sir:
Enclosed you will find the Advanced Placement Program's school participation
form and the "Guide." The first is self-explanatory; the "Guide" is a concise
description of the College Board's plan to help high schools offer college-level
courses to their best students.
The Advanced Placement Program has grown quickly. In 1956, 1,200 students
from 104 schools took the examinations. In 1959 the comparable figures were 5,800
and 560. In every section of the country large and small, public and private school⟦s⟧
have successfully participated. The National Association of Secondary School Prin-
cipals and the National Council of Independent Schools have supported the Progra⟦m⟧
and a number of distinguished educators have publicly recommended it.
If your school has already participated in the Program, I should like to call
your attention to the inside front cover of the "Guide," which carries a summary
of the new procedure for administering the examinations. Detailed information will
be sent to schools giving the examinations. If yours is not a participating school
and you would like to know more about the Program, or if you would like help in
establishing it, I want to urge you to call on us. We will do everything we can to
help.
Sincerely yours,
[Signature] ⟦Jack N. Arbolino⟧

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Importance of These Directions
In a test being administered at over 12,000 schools, we feel sure you will recognize the
importance of systematic procedures. Only if all supervisors adhere strictly to the same
schedule and give exactly the same instructions will the scores of all students tested at
the many centers be comparable. You should therefore be thoroughly familiar with these
instructions before the day of the test and then follow them exactly.
2. Guarding the Security of the Test
During the period between receipt of test materials and the test administration, all test
materials must be kept in a locked room to which only you or designated assistants have
access. No one should be allowed to examine the contents of a test book.
Please make every effort to conduct the test quietly and to protect the students from
disturbance. You should determine within the first half hour of the test session the number
of candidates taking the test. The number of unused, sealed test books should be counted.
This number, added to the number of candidates taking the test, must equal the number of
books received from ETS. Immediately after the test has been administered, all used answer
sheets are to be returned to Educational Testing Service, and all test books, used and un-
used, are to be destroyed. x
3. Date and Time of the Test
There are two forms of the test. Form 1 is for administration only on Tuesday, October 20;
Form 2 is for administration only on Saturday, October 24. Please be sure that you have
the appropriate form of the test. If the test is administered on any other date, there can be
no guarantee that the answer sheets for your school will be processed. The directions for
administering the test assume that it will be given in the morning, but in fact it may be
given either in the morning or afternoon. If it is necessary to administer the test in two or
more sections at different times of the day you should make certain that students tested first
have no opportunity to communicate with those taking the test later in the day. There should
be no opportunity for one group to discuss test items with another group or the security of the
test is destroyed.
The actual testing will require two hours; additional time must be allowed for reading dir-
ections and for distributing and collecting test materials. You should have a watch which
you are willing to reset as the directions specify.
- 2 -
4. Seating
Ideally students should be seated far enough from each other to make it impossible for any
student to see any other student's answer sheet. A common arrangement is the use of every
other seat in alternate rows.
5. Supervision During the Test
If you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone is giving or receiving any kind
of assistance during the test, he must leave the examination room and must not be permitted
to return. His test book and answer sheet are to be taken from him and the answer sheet
destroyed with the test books. No test fee need be forwarded for such a student.
Should a student withdraw permanently from the test for any reason, no test fee need be for-
warded for such a student. The fee will be required only for those who complete the test.
If it is necessary for a student to leave the room temporarily while the test is in progress, his
test book and answer sheet should be kept in the test room. If two or more students are absent
at the same time, they should be accompanied by a proctor.
If a student has a defective test book, give him a new book after removing the answer sheet
from it, and direct him to continue work on his original answer sheet. If a student has a
defective answer sheet, give him a new one from an unused test book, and direct him to
write his name on the new answer sheet and continue work on it. At the end of the test, both
answer sheets must be collected and clipped together, with a note of explanation written on
each.
You or a proctor should walk about the room frequently during the course of the test to guard
against cheating and to make sure each candidate is working on the appropriate section of the
test.
6. Proctorial Assistance
If you have more than 25 students taking the test, it is suggested that you secure one proctor
for each additional 25 students to assist in distributing and collecting test materials and in
general test supervision.
7. Answer Sheet
The last page of this Manual is a facsimile of the answer sheet for this year's Preliminary
Scholastic Aptitude Test. You should familiarize yourself with it and refer to it when reading
over the directions that follow.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE TEST
After the students have been seated as directed, the doors to the examination room should
be securely closed and no visitor should be permitted to enter.
Before distributing test materials, you say:
[Marginalia] PRELIMINARY
[Marginalia] DIRECTIONS
You will have two hours to work on this examination. The examination
is divided into two sections; you will have one hour to work on each
section. During the time allowed for each section you are to work only
on it. When I say "BEGIN WORK," read the directions, start to work
and continue on that section until I say "STOP". If you finish a section
before time is called, you may check your work on it, but you are not to
work on the other section. All your answers must be recorded in the
appropriate space on the separate answer sheet. You will be given a
special pencil for use in marking your answers. Be sure that all your
answer marks are black and heavy and that they completely fill the space
between the dotted lines. Don't make stray marks on your answer sheet;
if you erase, do so completely. Ask no questions during the test. If your
test book, answer sheet, or special pencil is defective, raise your hand.
When you get your test book, read the directions on the back cover and
look up at me when you have finished. Do not break the seal until I tell
you to open the test book. Are there any questions now?
After answering questions regarding test procedures, give a test book,an answer sheet,
and a special pencil to each student. When everyone has finished reading the directions,
say:
[Marginalia] FILLING OUT
[Marginalia] ANSWER SHEET
You are not to start the test yet.. Turn to the side of your answer sheet
which has the spaces for recording your answers to the test.
Print your name, your complete home address, the name and
- 4 -
<del>address of your school and check the box for sex and school class. (Pause</del>
<del>while they do this.) Turn your answer sheet over. Read the section which</del>
<del>lists the various scholarship programs and their elegibility requirements. If</del>
<del>you are elegible for and interested in one or more of the programs listed,</del>
<del>darken the appropriate box or boxes and then sign and date the certifying</del>
<del>statement. Next, read the list of programs at the bottom of the sheet and</del>
<del>darken the box if you have applied or plan to apply to any of these programs.</del>
<del>When you have finished, look up at me. Are there any questions?</del>
<del>Now turn your answer sheet back so that Section I and Section II appear at</del>
<del>the top of the page.</del>
Remember that you are not expected to finish all test questions in the time
allowed. Work steadily and don't waste time on a question that seems too
difficult for you. If you have some knowledge of the question, take a guess
at the answer, since no deduction will be made for wrong answers. You
will receive credit of course only for right answers. You are to work for the
next hour on Section I. As soon as you finish one page, go on to the next
but don't go on to Section II until I tell you to do so. When I give the sig-
nal, open your test book, read the directions for Section I, and start to
work.

[Marginalia] TEST
[Marginalia] DIRECTIONS
Reset your watch at 8:59. When the watch reads exactly 9:00, say:
BEGIN WORK.
[Marginalia] AT 9:00
During the test you and/or the proctor should walk about the room frequently to make sure that
all the students are working on the correct section of the test. Printed in the upper corner of
each page in the test book, there is a large numeral "1" or "2" by which you will be able
to tell at a glance the number of the section. You should also be ready to replace any de-
fective test books, answer sheets or pencils.
STOP. Even if you have not finished Section I, you must stop work on it.
During the next hour, you are to work on Section II and only on that Sec-
tion. Don't turn back to Section I. When I give the signal, open your test
book to Section II, read the directions, and start to work.
[Marginalia] AT 10:00

Reset your watch at 9:59. When the watch reads exactly 10:00, say:
AT 10:00
BEGIN WORK.
AT 11:00
STOP. Even if you have not finished Section II you must stop work
and close your test book. Keep your answer sheet and test book
separate on your desk. Test books and answer sheets will now be
collected. You may keep the special pencils. No one may leave
the room until all materials have been collected and counted.
Remain in your seat until I dismiss you. There must be no talking.
Collect the test books and the answer sheets, and count both. Before you dismiss the
students, you should be certain that you have an answer sheet from every student who
took the test and that you have every test booklet (used and unused) sent to your school
by Educational Testing Service.
DESTRUCTION OF TEST BOOKS
Immediately after the test administration, all test books, both used and unused, are to
be destroyed by burning or thoroughly shredding. The unused answer sheets are to be
destroyed with the test books.

MEMORANDUM FOR: College Board Advanced Placement Examinations Coordinators
SUBJECT: Test Order for May 1960 Examinations
Enclosed are two copies of the form to be used in ordering copies
of Advanced Placement Examinations to be administered in May 1960. One copy
of this form must be submitted to reach the indicated address no later than
April 20; the other copy may be retained for your files as a record of the
materials ordered. Schools which are able to place orders early are urged
to do so; Educational Testing Service will be able to handle supplementary
orders received up to April 20.
Near the top of the form, you are asked to indicate the number of
individuals to be tested. In most schools the information requested here is
not the same as the total number of examinations ordered since a student may
take more than one test. Usually the number of individuals to be tested will
be less, therefore, than the total number of examinations ordered. Please
determine carefully the number of students you will test since many of the
accessory materials are needed only on a one-per-student basis regardless
of the number of tests to be taken.
In the "No. to be Tested" columns, indicate the exact number of
candidates registered for each test. Please do not include any overages.
ETS will routinely add an overage of test materials to cover the possibility
of defective supplies.
Be sure to indicate the preferred speed for the tape recordings
if you order French, German, or Spanish examinations. If your machine will
play either speed, it is suggested that you order 7 1/2 inches per second
speed.
While two tests in Latin (Latin 4 and Latin 5) are offered, these
are printed in a single test booklet. Therefore, you need not specify which
level of tests your students will take. However, candidates will take either
Latin 4 or Latin 5, not both.
Orders will be filled and shipped to arrive not earlier than April
25 and no later than May 11. If you have not received your order by the
latter date, please inquire by a collect telephone call.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
We feel sure you will recognize the importance of systematic procedures in a test being
administered at many schools all over the country. Only if all supervisors adhere to the
same schedule and give exactly the same instructions will the scores of all students tested
at the many centers be comparable. You should, therefore, be thoroughly familiar with these
instructions before the day of the test and then follow them exactly.
1. General Duties of the Supervisor
As supervisor your chief concerns are to safeguard the security of the test, to conduct the
examination efficiently and quietly, to protect the candidates from disturbance, and to
return the test materials promptly. To aid you in administering the test you should be
familiar with the Supervisor's Handbook, a comprehensive guide to tests administered by
Educational Testing Service. You should also be familiar with the current Bulletin of In-
formation for this program.
2. Equipment of Supervisor
You should read thoroughly the instructions in this Manual and in the Handbook before the
day of the examinations. The necessary equipment for the examinations, aside from test
books and special pencils, which Educational Testing Service will supply consist of:
a. Final Shipment Notice, listing the expected number of candidates and
the quantities of tests sent. The supervisor will record on this form the
actual number of candidates who took the test
b. Form N, an alphabetical list of candidates, on which each one's presence or
absence must be indicated
c. Substitute Admission cards, to be filled in by each candidate admitted to the
examination without a ticket of admission, or with an incorrect ticket
d. This Manual and a copy of the Supervisor's Handbook
e. A Supervisor's Report form
f. An Irregularity Report form, which is the last page (yellow) of this Manual
g. Supervisor's Comment sheet, on inside front cover of this Manual
h. Summary Vouchers for all honoraria and necessary administrative expenses
i. Address Labels, one for each supervisor, associate supervisor, and proctor
You must provide the following equipment:
- 5 -
a. A reliable watch (not a stop watch) which you are willing to adjust
as the instructions require
b. A clock (alarm-clock size or larger), if possible, in the event that
there is no clock in the examination room. If this is not possible,
post the amount of time remaining at various intervals.
3. Center Code Number
Before the test session obtain the Center Number from the Final Shipment Notice, where
it appears to the right of the examination center address, and post it in view of all the
candidates for their use in filling out their answer sheets.
4. Duties of Proctors
Proctors are to walk about the room frequently during the course of each examination to
guard against cheating and to insure that every candidate is working on the appropriate
section or part during a given time interval. To aid the proctors in checking this, a
large Arabic numeral designating the section or part at which the test book is open has
been printed in the upper corner of each page. During the time allowed for each section
or part in the test, the candidate must work on that section or part only. Care will be
needed to make certain that the candidates are working only on the appropriate section
or part.
If a candidate is detected working on the wrong section or part, the proctor, or the super-
visor if there is no proctor, must note on the Irregularity Report the candidate's examination
number and name, the name of the test, the time (shown by your reset watch) when the
irregularity was detected, and the following information: WORKED. . . . .MINUTES ON
SECTION . . . . . . .PART . . . . . . MISSED THAT TIME ON TEST . . . . . PART. . . .
If a candidate has a defective test book, the proctor is to take it, give him a new book
after removing the answer sheet from it, and direct him to continue work on his original
answer sheet. The unused answer sheet is to be returned, clipped to the used one, with an
explanatory comment attached. If a candidate has a defective answer sheet, the proctor
should give him a new answer sheet from an unused test book and direct him to write his
name and to continue on it. At the end of the test, both answer sheets must be collected
and clipped together, with a note of explanation written on both.
Proctors should at all times give strict attention to their duties. They should not read
or engage in conversation while an examination is in progress. If a proctor stands behind
a candidate, he should take care not to remain there long enough to disturb or embarrass
the candidate.
5. Counting of Test Materials
Upon receipt of the test supplies, you should open the cartons and check the inside
packets containing the tests. Do not open the plastic bags. Check the quantities and
Page 373
- 6 -
kinds of tests against those listed on the Final Shipment Notice. It is advisable, if
possible, to have an associate supervisor or proctor assist you. If there is any dis-
crepancy, notify Educational Testing Service at once by collect telegram. After
completing this checking, place all tests under lock until the day of the administration.
6. Admission of Candidates
Each candidate who is properly registered with Educational Testing Service has been sent
a ticket of admission stapled to the mailing address form which the candidate completed
when he registered.
As the candidates enter the examination room, you will inspect, but not collect each
ticket of admission to make sure it is for the correct administration, the correct center,
signed properly, and that the names on the ticket of admission and the mailing form
agree. Each candidate's ticket is stamped either " Good for One Half-Day of Testing"
or "Good for Two Half-Days of Testing." Candidates registered for one session of the
examination may not register with you for the other session.
A candidate with a ticket for a different administration or center who is without authoriza-
tion for transfer from ETS may be admitted, provided you have sufficient test materials.
Candidates presenting unsigned tickets should be instructed to sign them and the name
signed should be compared with that appearing in the address oval of the mailing form. If
the signatures do not agree, you should keep the ticket and all the attached examination
number labels and return ticket and labels to Educational Testing Service, explaining
your action on the Irregularity Report. The candidate in this instance is also permitted to
take the test. A candidate who has lost his ticket may be admitted if his name appears
on the Form N (the alphabetical list of candidates). If his name does not appear on the
Form N, he may be admitted at your discretion, however, it should be made clear that
ETS may cancel his test if a check of the records at this office shows that he was not en-
titled to take the test.
Every candidate admitted with an incorrect ticket or without a ticket must be given a
Substitute Admission Card. You should see that he fills out the card completely. Have
him read the reverse side of the card, sign the Candidates Affirmation, and return it to
you. Filling out of the card by an unregistered candidate does not constitute registration,
but serves merely as an aid to ETS in processing the answer sheet of a candidate who is
properly registered but who does not have examination number labels. Under no circum-
stances should a candidate use the examination number labels from a ticket issued to
someone else. A student who has an incorrect ticket of admission should use the examina-
tion number labels he has, but should also fill out the Substitute Admission Card.
All Substitute Admission Cards should be fastened together and returned to ETS as directed
in "Detailed Instructions for Return of Test Materials" at the end of this Manual. They
will be checked against the registration files at ETS, and any tests taken by an unregistered
candidate may be cancelled.
-7-
7. Examination Number Labels
Gummed labels on which the candidate's examination number has been printed are
attached to the ticket of admission. The candidate should affix one label in the space
provided on the answer sheet, as later instructions indicate. Under no circumstances
should a candidate use the examination number labels issued to someone else. Use of
incorrect labels will result not only in the delay of the candidate's own report but also
in the possible issuance of an incorrect report for some other candidate. It is extremely
important that the number on each label used be plainly visible when the answer sheets
are processed.
8. Seating of Candidates
If possible, the candidates should be seated in every other seat in every other row. If
this cannot be done, it is suggested that you have the candidates use odd-numbered
seats in every row at the front of the room and in every other row at the back of the
room. Desks, tables, or chairs with arms on which the candidates can write, provide
acceptable work places for taking the test. Left-handed candidates should be seated
in a separate section of the room according to instructions given in the Handbook.
9. Closing the Examination Room
The doors of the room are to be closed at 9:00 a.m. Any candidates who arrive a few
minutes late may be admitted at the discretion of the supervisor, provided the actual
test administration has not begun and admittance of these candidates will not disturb
the others. Under ordinary circumstances no candidate should be admitted after the
actual testing has begun. However, if you decide to admit a candidate who has been
delayed by an unusual circumstance (flood, snowstorm, etc.) you must assume the
responsibility of giving him the full testing time. Do not permit a candidate to come
in late and finish with the on-time candidates. The circumstances should be fully ex-
plained in your Irregularity Report to Educational Testing Service -- not on the candi-
date's answer sheet.
Visitors are not allowed to enter the room while the test is in progress.
10. Distribution of Test Materials
The test books will be arranged in the order of their serial numbers, but they need not be
distributed or collected in that order. Each candidate must be handed his book individ-
ually; it is absolutely essential that each candidate receive only one book. After dis-
tribution the proctors must return the remaining books to you immediately. No person
except a candidate is allowed to break the seal on or to examine the contents of a test
book except when a test book is found to be defective. In such a case, the proctor will
break the seal of a new test book, remove the answer sheet, and direct the candidate to
continue the test with the new book. (See Duties of Proctors).
The candidate should have nothing on his desk but his test book, answer sheet, and
special pencil supplied by Educational Testing Service. The use of rulers, compasses,
dictionaries, protractors, or slide rules is prohibited during the test. The use of scratch
paper is prohibited. Any preliminary work can be done in the margins of the test book.
Page 374
- 8 -
11. Supervisor's Irregularity Report
Attached to the back of this Manual is an Irregularity Report form which you should
detach and complete in accordance with the following instructions. If additional Report
forms are needed, they may be obtained from other Supervisor's Manuals. The supervisor,
associate supervisors, and proctors should note on the Report all irregularities which
affect one or possibly two or three candidates. Irregularities which affect a large group
or all of the candidates present should be described in detail on a separate sheet of paper
and attached to the Report.
On the heading of the Report form write "GRE - National Program," the examination
center and number, and the date. If no irregularities occur, the heading should be filled
in, and the word "None" written under "Brief Description".
All Irregularity Report forms used at the examination center should be collected and clipped
together before being returned to Educational Testing Service. All irregular answer sheets
should be returned with the other used answer sheets, sorted as directed at the end of this
Manual.
The following section of this Manual (Supervision During the Test) contains instructions
for noting certain types of irregularities on the Report forms.
12. Supervision During the Test
a. Account of materials
You should determine within the first half hour of the test session the number
of candidates taking the test. The number of unused, sealed test books should
be counted. This number, added to the number of candidates taking the test,
must equal the number of books received from Educational Testing Service. If
any defective test books are found, the number of defective books must be in-
cluded in the total of used test books. Before the candidates leave the room,
you must be certain that you have every one of the books which were sent to
you. You will be held responsible for returning the full number to Educational
Testing Service.
In the event that the number of books counted does not equal the number of test
books received from ETS, you should permit the candidates to finish the section
on which they are working when the discrepancy is noted; at its conclusion,
STOP the examination. The candidates should be informed that one of them has
been accidentally given an extra book. You should request that the book be
returned to you. When the book is handed in, resume the test. The circum -
stances should be detailed in your Irregularity Report. If the book is not handed
in, resume testing, place the room in a proctor's charge, and then telephone
ETS, giving a report of the circumstances. You will be advised what to do
next. In no case should candidates be dismissed before telephoning ETS.
(Phone: Princeton, New Jersey, Walnut 1-9000 or Los Angeles, California,
NOrmandy 3-1181.)
- 9 -
The used and unused books should be arranged separately in whatever
order is most convenient . Neither you nor a proctor may inspect a test
book , except to determine whether a particular test book is defective .
b. Attendance
The number of candidates taking the test must be entered on the Final
Shipment Notice . The individual candidate's presence or absence must
be indicated opposite his name on Form N . If you admit to the test any
candidates not listed on Form N , their names must be added to the list .
It is most important that the attendance record be correct . The rules
governing closing of the examination room (Section 9) must be strictly
enforced .
c. Information about guessing
If the candidates ask whether or not they should guess , tell them the
following : "Many candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers
to questions about which they are not certain . In these tests , a percentage
of the wrong answers will be subtracted from the number of right answers
as a correction for haphazard guessing . It is improbable , therefore , that
mere guessing will improve your score significantly ; it may even lower your
score , and it does take time . If , however , you are not sure of the correct
answer but have some knowledge of the question and are able to eliminate
one or more of the answer choices as wrong , your chances of getting the
right answer are improved , and it will be to your advantage to answer such
a question . "
d. Cheating
If you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that a candidate is giving
or receiving assistance during an examination you should require him to
surrender his examination materials to you . He must leave the room and
must not be permitted to return . His test book and answer sheet are to be
returned to Educational Testing Service with a note of explanation written
on the Irregularity Report . Educational Testing Service will make the facts
known to his college and to the schools he has named to receive a report .
e. Routine absences
The rest period during the Aptitude Test will be ten minutes long . During
this time candidates may not leave the examination room except to go to a
rest room . Two or more candidates may be allowed to go to a rest room at
the same time unaccompanied by a proctor so long as you have accounted
for all test materials . During the rest period candidates may talk quietly .
These restrictions must be enforced during the Aptitude Test rest period ,
since candidates will still have on their desks the answer sheets on which
they have just been working .
Page 375
- 10 -
Routine absences to go to the rest room during the actual testing time
need not be reported in the Irregularity Report. The candidate's test
book and answer sheet should be collected, and upon his return, he is
to be given the same test materials.
f. Absence due to illness
All cases of a candidate's leaving the room because of illness are to be
recorded on the Irregularity Report attached to the back of this Manual.
The candidate's test book and answer sheet are to be collected. On the
Irregularity Report you should note the candidate's examination number
and name, the name of the test, the time (shown by your reset watch)
when the candidate left the room, and, under "Brief Description,"
the following information: LEFT ROOM FOR . . . . . . . . . MINUTES
BECAUSE OF (type of illness). . . . . . . . . . The candidate is to be
given the same test materials upon his return.
If a candidate must withdraw permanently from the test, you should
collect his test materials and note in the Irregularity Report the candidate's
examination number and name, the name of the test, the time (shown by
your reset watch) when the candidate withdrew, and the following informa-
tion: FORCED TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF . . . . . . . . .
g. Smoking
Smoking may be permitted at the discretion of the supervisor, provided the
local building regulations permit it.
13. Supervisor's Comments
On the inside front cover of this Manual is a form entitled Supervisor's Comments. If
you have comments or suggestions which you feel might improve the administration of
these tests, write them here and return the form to ETS.
All irregularities, however, should be noted on the Irregularity Report as previously
described.
14. Collection of Test Materials
At the end of the test session, after the candidates have been told to close their books you
and/or the proctors are to collect quickly and quietly the special pencils, the test books,
and the answer sheets - separately and in that order.
To insure cooperation of the candidate until ALL testing materials have been collected, it
is essential that the answer sheet, most important item to the candidate, be collected last.
You are to place the test materials so that the candidates will not have access to them as
they leave the room.

Before the candidates are dismissed, a complete count of all test books and answer
sheets must be made and CHECKED. In the directions to candidates, candidates are
asked to print their full names on their test books at the top of the front cover. This
has been requested so that if you find a test book or answer sheet missing when verify-
ing count, you can match up test books with answer sheets, thereby locating the name
of the candidate who used the missing material.
When all test materials, used and unused, which were sent from Educational Testing
Service are in your possession, dismiss the candidates. No one is allowed to examine
the test books or the answer sheets after they have been returned to the proctor or to
you. This rule must be enforced.
15. The Supervisor's Report Form and Return of Test Materials
The Supervisor's Report Form will be found in your shipment of test supplies. At the end
of each session you should list on this form the quantities of used and unused test booklets
and answer sheets which you are returning.
The completed Supervisor's Report for each test should be clipped to the used answer
sheets for that test. At the end of the last examination session all materials must be sent
to the Princeton or the Los Angeles office of Educational Testing Service, as appropriate.
Further detailed shipping instructions will be found at the end of this Manual.
Both used and unused test books must be kept under lock at all times until they are shipped.
16. Supervisor's Summary Voucher and Address Labels
The Supervisor's Summary Voucher form is to be filled out at the end of the administration
and returned to ETS with the used answer sheets. Details for filling out the Summary
Voucher are to be found on pages 29 and 35 of the Supervisor's Handbook.
Each associate supervisor and proctor, as well as the supervisor, is to write his address on
a separate Address Label. These labels are used to mail the honorarium checks and must
therefore be accurate and legible to assure prompt payment.
