Non-Standard Response (NSR)• Find the template on the BoCo website under BAC Resources

• Printed word-processed answer must fit in the answer box.

• Trim around and tape response into appropriate spot in student response booklet.

• Tape at least the four corners of the response using clear desk tape.

• Do not cover other answers, bar codes or timing tracks with tape.

This is where the typed test will go. It will be trimmed around so that it fits completely inside the black box allowed for each test question. The template allows only enough space to complete the question while remaining inside the allowable space. The template can be downloaded from the KDE webpage. Tape must be on the corners of the text being inserted but not covering multiple choice answers, barcodes or timing tracks. Place clear desk tape at least on the four corners of the printed response so the pages are securely in place and will not move around when the booklet is moved, opened, closed, packaged or during shipping. This will ensure proper scoring will occur.
