<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060">The last 3 years, I ran the testing at the middle school level, but now that I am at the high school level, I do not have to do that. Last year, I pushed it back as late as I
could because our teachers really needed that extra time for teaching because our test scores were very low the year before. Having more time for curriculum is a pro, but the cons are: do you have enough computers to push it back, do you have enough time
to get all special-ed small groups done, and will you have time for make-ups for absent students?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060">We offered an attendance incentive, to ensure that students would be there which helped on make-ups. We had a big party the last week or 2nd to the last week of school for those
who just showed-up and behaved during all testing days.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060">I work at a small K-12 school. We always start our younger student's testing right away. It takes a long time even at a small school to do the small groups with accommodations.
Junior high and high school we spread out a little more but try to be done by first week of May to allow time for make-ups. I have some teachers that like to wait for their students to be tested last but I have too many variables to consider to do that every
time. It doesn't seem to make a difference either way. Most students are just ready to get it over with.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
