I am currently in the process of gridding in answer sheets for the pre-tests that were administered at the beginning of the year. They will be scored using the same machine used for EQTs. (No they still don't count.) This is being to done to help track the data. Grid sheets will be run and provided to you when you are ready to administer the first Benchmark Test. I will get those to your school by the end of first quarter. I am assuming none of you will be ready to give it before then. None of your other chapter tests will use a grid sheet. They will only be used for Pre - and Post - tests and the Benchmark Tests.======

__**Chapter Tests**__
You should have received both the Pre-tests and the Post-tests for chapters 1 - 3. (Wes tells me they may have been accidentally labeled as AMPs, so check the box before sending back.) I am going to go ahead and order pre - and post - tests for chapters 4, 5, and the Benchmark test. Let me know if they are not received.
