Distribute one “Admission Card” to each examinee who is going to take the TOEFL Primary® or TOEFL Junior® test

for the first time. Instruct examinees to fill the necessary information correctly, and keep it at hand even after the test. The “List of Previous Examinees” includes the examinees who took the previous test at your location. If an examinee on the list is scheduled to take the test again, do not distribute the “Admission Card” to him/her, but detach the examinee number from the list and hand it to him/her.

• “Test Administration Manual” provides important notes as well as procedures from the arrival to the return of test materials.

Ensure the same code is printed.

Test Taker’s Card List of Previous Examinees (at the time of submission

of the application only)



3. Checking testing site/facilities

Check with the “Testing Site Checklist,” sent beforehand to the Institutional Testing Administrator.

Setting up the testing site

Ensure that all seats face the same direction (Seating layout that test takers cannot talk to each other and cannot check their answers with other test takers).

Ensure that appropriate space is maintained between seats, and that there is a passage way between seats so that the proctor can check each seat periodically.

Ensure that the bell does not ring, and that no announcements are made from the speaker. Ensure that the room is uncluttered.

Securing facilities

Set up audio equipment (CD player) and adjust the volume.

Keep extra stationery and scratch paper (only when necessary) available for the test takers.

Set up a clock (at a location where test takers can see it easily).

4. Samples of what is to be written on blackboard

(See the examples below, and write down the necessary information on a blackboard located at the front of the room.)

• Test takers are allowed to fill their necessary personal information in their “Answer Sheet” before the day of the test. If they choose to do so, collect their Answer Sheets and store them until the day of the test.

• If there is a change in the “Test Time” due to administrative reasons, change the start/end time on the blackboard as needed (*However, the time originally allotted to complete each test section must be strictly adhered to).

5. Important notes 1. After the test, collect ALL materials except for the “Test Taker’s Card” and the “List of Previous

Test takers” distributed to test takers (including any scratch paper).

2. Keep time thoroughly. Even if the test start time changes, the time allotted to complete each test

section must be strictly adhered to. 3. Prevent leakage of the test contents.

Ensure that the tests are securely stored to prevent leakage. Do not disclose to outsiders or third parties any confidential matters regarding the tests that you have learned.

4. It is important that the test be given in a strict, secure, and fair manner. The proctor is required to

read and understand the manual beforehand.

5. Writing in the test book is allowed. Also, test takers can take notes on the back page of the “Sample Answer Sheet” or a blank sheet which has been provided beforehand is allowed. However, all test books and note taking papers MUST be collected after the test.

6. No inquiries regarding the contents of the test by test takers are allowed. 7. Each section of the test has a time limit. During each time period, test takers are required to work

only on the section of the test they are instructed to work on, and they cannot work on other sections of the test. Test takers are permitted to leave the room for reasons such as feeling unwell and using the bathroom; however, the test time cannot be extended.

8. There are practice questions at the beginning of each section or part.

For TOEFL Primary®: Begin timing after the proctor first works on several practice questions with the test takers in the Reading section.

*Discrepancies in material counts or incomplete information on the front page of the answer sheets may result in delayed scoring. GC&T will not be able to score tests until all materials have been returned and all information has been received, and this could cause delays of 10 to 20 days for test results notification. Please check these things carefully before returning materials.

Test Procedure *Please read through the manual before the day of the test.
