TELEPHONE: WALNUT 1-6550 • CABLE: EDUCTESTSVC
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.

Dear Sirs:
I am enclosing herewith, six applications of students from this School who are willing to take the SAT and Achievement Tests on March 12, 1960.
The amount of 92.00 Dollars, covering examination fees and the cost of materials ordered, was remitted by air mail on the 7th instant by the Ottoman Bank, Baghdad, through their New York correspondents, the First National City Bank of New York, 55 Wall Street, New York, for payment to you through their Princeton correspondent. At present the only way we can arrange for payment in Dollars is by Air Transfer, as all transactions in Dollars have got to pass through the Foreign Exchange Department in Baghdad and are settled in this way.
Kindly note, that in all the six application forms, the blank assigned for item 8 (Test Centre) has been left vacant. In the centre list of your 1959-1960 Bulletin of Information, I see no mention to any Examination Centre in Baghdad. I shall, therefore, be much obliged if you will kindly establish a Centre in Baghdad for the examinations of March 12, 1960, and inform me of same at the earliest possible.

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
- 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. 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.

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 .
- 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.
-11-
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.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF
THE APTITUDE TEST - MORNING SESSION
Admission of Candidates
The examination is to begin at 9:00 a.m. All candidates have been requested to report
at 8:45 a.m. and have been informed that they will not be admitted after 9:00. You and
your assistants should be at the examination room by 8:30. As each candidate is admitted
to the room inspect, but do not collect, his ticket of admission. At 9:00 the doors to the
examination room are to be closed, and as soon as possible thereafter, you should start
reading the directions.
Any candidates who arrive a few minutes late may be admitted at the discretion of the
supervisor, provided the admittance of these candidates will not disturb the others. If you
admit a candidate after the test has begun, you must give him the full testing time, even
though he must stay after the on-time candidates are dismissed. Such occurences should
be noted on the Irregularity Report.
Timing of the Examination
Use a watch with a second hand (not a stop watch). The watch should be set so that it
will read exactly 9:00 when you give the instruction "BEGIN WORK." The hours and
minutes in the schedule must be followed exactly.
Supervisor's Schedule
A complete schedule for the supervisor follows. Read aloud all directions enclosed in
boxes. Do not depart from these directions, nor answer any questions regarding the con-
tent of the examination.
Obtain the center number from the Final Shipment Notice and post it in view of all the
candidates so that they can copy it on their answer sheets where necessary.
If the candidates inquire about the advisability of guessing the answers to questions, refer
them to the instructions on the cover of the test book.
Insure the proper seating of all candidates, paying special attention to those that are left-
handed, by following the procedure given in Section 8. After all candidates have been
seated and before any test materials are distributed, the following preliminary directions
are to be read aloud:
[Marginalia] PRELIMINARY
[Marginalia] DIRECTIONS
The entire Aptitude Test is 2 1/2 hours long and consists of
three sections. You will have 25 minutes to work on Section I,
- 13 -
50 minutes for Section II, and 75 minutes for Section III.
During the time allowed for one section you are to work
ONLY on that section. (Pause.) You will be given a
special pencil for use in indicating your answers. Mark
all your answers on the separate answer sheet which is
inserted in the test book. You are not to use scratch
paper; scratchwork may be done in the test book. If
your test book, answer sheet, or special pencil is de-
fective, raise your hand. When you get your test book,
print your full name in the upper left-hand corner of
the front cover. Read the directions on the back cover.
Look up at me when you have finished. Do not break
the seal until I tell you to do so. You are not to ask
questions during the examination. Are there any ques-
tions now?
When all questions have been answered, distribute a copy of the Aptitude Test and a
special pencil to each candidate individually. Make sure that no one breaks a seal on
a test book until you give the signal to do so. When all candidates have had time to
read the directions, say:
By using your pencil, break the seal of your test book from
the inside. (Pause.) Take out the answer sheet inside the
front cover and then close your test book. Fill in the in-
formation requested on your answer sheet. (Pause.) In the
space provided, copy the center number which I have posted.
(Pause.) Detach an examination number label from your
ticket of admission, and paste it in the space provided.
(Pause.) When I give the signal, open your test book to
Section I, read the directions, and then start to work. You
will have 25 minutes to work on this section. Be sure that
- 14 -
all your answer marks are black and heavy and that they
completely fill the space between the dotted lines; do not
make stray marks on your answer sheet; if you erase, do so
completely. Keep your answer sheet flat on your desk and
directly in front of you during the test. Are there any
questions?
After answering any questions set your watch at 8:59. When the watch reads 9:00, say:
| AT 9:00 | BEGIN WORK. |
| AT 9:25 | STOP. When I give the signal, turn to Section II, read the
directions, and start to work. You will have 50 minutes to
work on Section II. BEGIN WORK. |
| AT 10:15 | STOP. Put your answer sheet inside your test book, close
your test book, and leave it closed on the desk. (Pause.)
You will have a ten minute rest period. During this time
you may stand by your seat and talk quietly. |
Walk about the room during the intermission to make sure that all test books are closed,
with answer sheets inside. A short time before the end of the rest period, say:
ATTENTION PLEASE. Take your seat and get ready to
resume work. (Pause.) When I give the signal, take out
your answer sheet, open your test book to Section III, read
the directions, and start to work. You will have 75 minutes
to work on Section III.
Now set your watch at 10:24. When the watch reads 10:25, say:
- 15 -
BEGIN WORK. AT 10:25
STOP. Close your test book and keep it closed on your desk. AT 11:40
Do not insert your answer sheet in your test book. Check to
make sure that on your answer sheet you have given all the
information requested and have pasted an examination num-
ber label in the space provided. (Pause.) Then check the
cover of your test book to see that you have printed your
full name in the upper left hand corner. (Pause.) We will
now collect the special pencils, the test books, and the
answer sheets. No one may leave the room until all mat-
erials have been collected and counted. Remain in your
seats until you are dismissed. There should be no talking.
The special pencils, the copies of the Aptitude Test and the answer sheets -- in that
order -- must be collected and counted as directed in the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS,
Section 14. It is imperative that no one leave the room until you make sure that you
have an Aptitude Test book and answer sheet from each candidate. After everything
has been checked, say:
Candidates for an Advanced Test are to report ____________________
(Designate the
_________________________________ at 1:45 this afternoon with tickets of
place)
admission. The doors to the examination room will be closed
at 2:00. (For candidates remaining for the afternoon session
who are not familiar with the center location, you might
suggest some convenient eating places. Then dismiss the
candidates.)
Fill out the Supervisor's Report for the Aptitude Test and attach it to the used Aptitude
Test answer sheets. Any irregularities at the Aptitude Test session should be noted in the
Irregularity Report.
The used Aptitude Test answer sheets and all other examination materials should be kept in
a locked room to which only you or a designated assistant has access until after the after-
noon session.
