Emergency supplies of test materials for the May 2007 component retests will be located at the centers listed below. These centers are intended to provide test booklets for last-minute emergencies, when copies cannot be obtained from the Department’s contractor for component retest materials, Measurement Incorporated. The officials in charge are authorized to release test booklets only on the day of the test. For component retests, all materials
for 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. testing sessions may be released in the morning.

Please contact the official in charge of the regional center before sending a representative to pick up test materials. The person sent to pick up an emergency supply of test materials must present authorization written on school letterhead stationery and signed by the principal. The authorization must identify the person picking up the materials and list the specific materials requested. The school representative obtaining Component Retest materials must provide identification with a photograph and must countersign the authorization letter and leave it with the official in charge of the regional center.
