CMAS and CoAlt Test Administrator Manuals

Printed Test Administrator Manuals (TAMs) are sent to districts in the shipment of materials in March. Districts distribute TAMs to their schools. TAMs provide information regarding administration and security policies and procedures that Test Administrators must follow. TAMs include instructions that are read aloud or signed, word-for-word, to students on each testing day. Spanish instructions are included in the CMAS TAM.
