Frequently Asked Questions
What if a student's parent or guardian wants to opt them out of testing?
While we do not encourage parents to opt students out, we do need to comply with their requests. There are no official forms for opting students out of a test. Parents can provide a dated handwritten note that exempts them from testing. It needs to be turned into the site administrator as soon as it is received so that they can have the LEA CAASPP coordinator enter the exempt status into TOMS. If a parent opts a child out after testing is started, they simply don't continue the testing from that point forward.

What is the difference between the Practice Test, Training Test and Interim Test?
Can test administrators help students use the test tools during testing?
No; the directions for administration, that are available on the Instructions and Manuals Web page, specify the guidance test administrators can and cannot provide to students during testing. However, students do have the ability to view tutorials that are embedded in the test delivery system at any time during testing.
