PLEASE DO NOT HIT REPLY to this email, but contact Janet Huseby at
jhuseby at pacbell.net 

 

Below you will find the venues for the remaining AP and IB tests; more
information on parking; and, a repeat item on times. Please look over the
schedule below carefully to check for your name and to make sure I have not
made a mistake.  Thank you one and all.  Janet

1. TRANSPORTATION:  There are no BHS parking  spaces available.  Cars parked
in the teachers lots without passes ARE towed. I am very sorry, but I cannot
give out any parking passes as there are none.    If you are unable to take
public transit, BIKE or walk, there are paid lots in the downtown area or
street parking west of Sacramento. You must count on parking for at least
five hours.  I am highlighting biking because I have recently become aware
that city of Berkeley Bike Station is open at 7 a.m.  Located on Shattuck
between Allston Way and Kittredge (near Starbucks), the Bike Station offers
free attended  bike parking---and Milvia is a bike route.  

2.  There has been some confusion in regards to the times proctors should
show up for the AP/IB tests.  Below, I have gone in and added the exact
times for each test.  But, in summary, AP tests are either 7:30 or 11:45; IB
tests are 7:45 or 11:45.  These are the times for the proctors who we are
asking to arrive a few minutes before the students so as to organize the
check in tasks.  For instance, for the morning AP tests, students are being
asked to come at 7:40.  That only gives proctors 10 minutes to figure out
what to do.  Please do not be late! Below the schedule, you will find
general instructions followed by the more specific IB instructions.  If you
are doing an AP test, do not worry about the IB instructions.

A.  General AP/IB instructions and parking information
1. Venues. I have only been given the first day's venues. And, even for the
first day I have only the general exam room not the extended time. I will
post venues completely when I get them. You will find the schedule further
on this email. Please check out your name to make sure I have put you in
correctly. This is important as I have already made several mistakes.
Wherever the venue is, please bring a sweater. The rooms can be chilly.
 
2. Proctors should report directly to their designated venue. Once there,
please sign in and get a volunteer badge. Please write your name on the
badge.
 
3.  A number of tests have extended time. ET students have qualified for
double time or time and a half. Because the timing is different they take
their exam in a different location. I have assigned all ET reliefs (that is
starting at 11:45 a.m.) but not the proctors for the morning extended. I
will randomly ask proctors as they arrive if they can take the ET kids. If
you end up in a conference room proctoring these students, you will want
something to read. Everyone should bring something to read just in case.
 
4. AP proctors will check students in, distribute student exams, walk up and
down, collect exams. There will be a paid administrator in each exam. IB
proctor instructions-slightly different--are below the roster.
 
5. Parking. Last year Berkeley High lost over 150 parking spots due to the
construction of a new field house on the east side of the football field.
Many teachers are no longer able to park at Berkeley High. Cars parked in
the teachers lots without passes ARE towed. I am very sorry, but I cannot
give out any parking passes as there are none.  Even substitute teachers do
not get passes.  If you are unable to take public transit or walk, there are
paid lots in the downtown area or street parking west of Sacramento. 
 
B. Specific IB instructions
Berkeley High School
International Baccalaureate Program Proctor Instructions -
Before the Test
Please read over the Conduct of Examinations, Notice to Candidates to be
posted separately as an attachment.
 
Arrival
Please arrive 15  minutes (8 a.m.) before the beginning of the testing
session. There are many tasks which need to be completed before the students
enter the room, and we can ensure that we stay on time if proctors are there
to help in the preparation.
 
Setting up Examination Room
Desks and tables will typically be set up before the session when you
arrive, but as there are always unforeseen circumstances, we need to be
ready to help set up as well.
   1. Examination cover sheets must be places at each testing place in the
room.
   2. Scratch paper, two sheets of official IB examination paper, and a
string tab (on necessary tests) needs to be placed at each seat.
   3. Students should be in alphabetical order by last name outside the exam
room.
 
Entering the Examination Room
   1. When students enter they need to show their students ID with photo
(class of 2011).
   2. Students must enter quietly and find their examination place. Students
will sit in alphabetical order, with a few exceptions as noted by the
coordinator.
   3. Students must put their backpack in the front of the room and not by
their desk or table. Their cell phones must be turned off completely and
never taken out during the exam.
   4. Students are allowed to bring water, pencils, pens, erasers, and a
watch to their seat. On certain tests, students are allowed to have a
calculator.
 
During the Examinations
 
1. The examination room must remain silent during the duration of the exam.
2. Proctors are allowed to escort one student at a time to the bathroom.
Students are not allowed to take anything with them to the bathroom.
Students are allowed to bring water, pencils, pens, erasers, and a watch to
their seat. On certain tests, students are allowed to have a calculator.
3. Proctors need to circulate through the room, watching students to ensure
that they are not looking at their neighbor's work. It is helpful to wear
quiet shoes, so the students are not distracted.
4. Ensure that silent conditions are maintained. Students are only allowed
to speak after they have raised their hand and a proctor is next to them.
5. Post the start and end time of the examination. Post when the students
have 30 minutes left, 15 minutes left, and 5 minutes left.
6. During certain exams there is a 15 minutes break between two different
parts. After the exam materials have been collected, students are allowed to
talk during their break.
 
After the examination
1. Students must stay seated as exams are collected. Exams, extra paper, and
reading booklets must all be collected.
2. Please check to make sure that students have used the tabs to connect all
exam papers together, and that they have filled out their cover sheet.
3. Students are allowed to speak after all tests have been collected.
4. Exams need to be placed in numerical order based on the student session
number.
5. The examination papers need to be placed into the designated envelopes,
but not sealed.
 
Miscellaneous
Those of you who have proctored before know that the testing sessions can be
tense and students can be nervous. Your job is to remind students of the
rules - they often need gentle reminders. If a student refuses to cooperate,
please contact me. I will be present in most of the exams myself, but there
are times where I need to circulate between two places. In any emergency,
proctors can contact me on my cell phone which will be posted in the testing
session. Thank you so much for agreeing to help with exams this year. We
absolutely couldn't do it without you!!! Please let me know if any of the
above is unclear, or you have other questions that have not been addressed.
 
Sincerely,
Ashley Milton
IB Coordinator
