During and After the Test
The test session is designed to allow sufficient time for sign-in, distribution of materials, and communication of directions before testing begins, and for completion of the test or subtest(s) by examinees. You will be provided with an erasable notepad and pen for use during the test. For certain tests, you will also be provided with a calculator; see "Test Selection" for details. See "Reporting to the Test Site" and "Test Site Rules" for additional details about the day of the test, including information about identification and security policies. Some examinees may finish testing well before the scheduled ending time of the test session. However, you should be prepared to use the entire test session. You will be allowed no more than the allotted time to complete the test or subtest(s).
During testing, you may take restroom breaks. Any time that you take for restroom breaks is considered part of the available testing time. (Certain examinations may also contain a scheduled break.) You may not leave the testing facility or room in which you have been seated for any purpose (other than to use the restroom, as permitted) until you have been officially dismissed by a test administrator. During the test administration, you may not communicate with other examinees or any unauthorized persons in any way, either in person or by using any communication device. Examinees will be monitored continuously and may also be videotaped.
Examinees taking all three subtests of FELE will have a break between subtests. Examinees taking Elementary Education K–6, more than one GK subtest, or two FELE subtests will not have a scheduled break between subtests.
Dismissal From the Test
Once you have been officially dismissed from a test session, you must leave the testing facility. If you are taking another test or subtest during a later session, return to the testing facility at the reporting time indicated on your admission ticket. You may wish to bring something to eat between test sessions; however, eating is not permitted in the testing rooms.
When you have completed testing or when the test session ends, your test materials will be collected and you will be dismissed from the test session.
