LEAP Phase 1 Preidentified Answer Documents
Phase 1 answer documents:
All LEAP testers receive one answer document (ELA/Math).
A unique spine bar is placed on every document.
The label box is preprinted with the following information: first and last name, gender, DOB, bar code, precode number, district and school names and codes, and last four digits of SSN/state ID number.
![Page 13: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
LEAP Phase 1 Preidentified Answer Documents (continued)
Preidentified answer documents still require hand coding for education classification, exceptionalities, and accommodations students actually received in testing.
Bar-code labels must NOT be placed over the preprinted student information.
Errors in preprinted student information must not be corrected. Test administrators should report errors in preprinted information to the School Test Coordinator, who must report errors to the Student Information System (SIS) coordinator for correction in the SIS database.
![Page 14: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bar-code Labels
Only hand-coded answer documents require bar-code labels.
School personnel must not affix bar-code labels to answer documents for approved home study program or LEAP (999) nonpublic school students.
To link Phase 1 and Phase 2 LEAP scores for reporting, hand coding in fields E, I, and J must be complete and must match exactly on all answer documents for a student.
A used hand-coded answer document returned to DRC without a bar-code label may not be scored in a timely manner.
Keep all unused labels (bar-code and return labels) received in Phase 1 delivery for use in Phase 2 testing.

Hand Coding LEAP Phase 1 Documents
Errors in hand-coded information require records to be manually merged to provide students with complete content-area scores!
It is IMPERATIVE that the following demographic information be hand coded completely (no blanks) and match exactly on all answer documents for a student to create accurate student results: Date of Birth (field E)
First Name (field I)
Last Name (field I)
Social Security Number/State ID Number (field J)

LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels Overview
To decrease the number of manual merges, LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels will again be provided for students whose hand-coded Phase 1 answer documents were completed for at least two of the following demographic fields:
Date of Birth
First Name
Last Name
Social Security Number
The pink Phase 2 preidentified labels will be sent to the districts for arrival on Thursday, April 3. District Test Coordinators must distribute them to the correct schools.
Use of the preidentified labels will help ensure that the LEAP Phase 1 and Phase 2 scores are merged within a content area.
![Page 19: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels
Pink LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels will be provided for students who tested on LEAP Phase 1 hand-coded documents.
Demographic information hand coded on the Phase 1 answer document will appear on the Phase 2 preidentified label

If First Name or Last Name was left blank on the Phase 1 answer document, the First Name or Last Name will not appear on the Phase 2 preidentified label.
If DOB or SSN was only partially coded or left blank on the Phase 1 answer document, those blanks will be replaced with dashes (-).
The last eight digits of the Phase 1 answer document security number and the district and school information will also appear on Phase 2 preidentified labels.

LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels How To Use
Before a preidentified label is affixed to a student’s LEAP Phase 2 answer document, the information on the label should be reviewed to ensure the label belongs to a particular student. There may be as few as two demographics on a student’s Phase 2
preidentified label. If necessary, verify that the student’s Phase 1 answer document security number, found on the label, matches the security number on the Phase 1 security checklist.
After verifying the information, the preidentified label should be affixed to the lower-left corner of the answer document.
![Page 21: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels How To Use (continued)
Do not correct errors on LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels.
Information printed on a preidentified label is pulled directly from the hand-coded information on the student’s Phase 1 answer document.
Errors can be corrected later in LEAPweb.
Answer documents with LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels must be coded according to the directions for preidentified answer documents in the LEAP Test Administration Manual.
LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels must be affixed to answer documents for students who are not testing, and an accountability code (if applicable) should be hand coded on page 2 of the answer documents.
![Page 22: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels Not Received
Reasons why a LEAP Phase 2 preidentified label may not have been received: A student’s LEAP Phase 1 answer document demographic
information contained too little information or more than two of the four demographic fields were left blank.
A student’s LEAP Phase 1 answer document was not received and processed at DRC by the morning of April 1.
The student enrolled in a school after Phase 1 testing. The student did not test during Phase 1.
NOTE: If the demographic information does not match exactly across both phases, students may have multiple records reported, and a Phase 1/Phase 2 merge request must be submitted to DRC in order for a student to receive a complete score for each content area.
![Page 23: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Using Nonpreidentified Bar-code Labels in Phase 2
If a school does not receive a LEAP Phase 2 preidentified label for a student whose Phase 1 answer document was hand coded, the School Test Coordinator should contact the District Test Coordinator, who will contact LDOE to obtain the Phase 1 demographic information for the student (if it is available).
If a student does not receive a preidentified label or a preidentified answer document for Phase 2 testing, a bar-code label (nonpreidentified) must be affixed to the Phase 2 answer document, and the document must be hand coded according to the instructions in the LEAP Test Administration Manual.

Straggler Answer Documents
These are answer documents that are incorrectly packaged or received by DRC after the cutoff date.
DRC’s procedures for handling straggler documents: Documents will be scanned and scored at a later date. Documents will not appear on the used answer document
report but may appear on the missing materials report. A score memo will be released with the student’s score and
the student’s Web history will be updated.• For LEAP students, the score memo may be only a partial score,
depending on whether one or both Phase 1 and Phase 2 student answer documents arrived late. Districts must submit a merge request. Merged scores will not be reflected in LEAPweb.
No student labels will be sent, and scores will not appear online in the CSV files or the assessment summary reports.

MERGES
![Page 47: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Types of Merges Merge Within a Content Area
For a student who responded to portions of a single content area on two different answer documents.
Request for Merging Scores forms (LEAP Phase 2 form or iLEAP and LAA 2 form) should be faxed to DRC when requesting this type of merge.
Student History Merge via LEAPweb District Test Coordinators perform these. The Electronic Merge request in LEAPweb should be used to
merge incomplete histories that require LDOE assistance.
LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2 Merge A manual merge completed by DRC to combine a student’s LEAP
Phase 1 and Phase 2 scores so the student has one complete score within a content area
![Page 48: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2Merge Request Process
After LEAP scores are released, if a student has records that require a Phase 1/Phase 2 merge, follow the steps below.
1. Print copies of the student’s multiple reports for one content-area test (the unmatched student reports).
2. Indicate which of the reports will be the primary record by writing “primary” on the top of the student report. The demographic information on the primary record will override
the secondary record’s demographics and be used on the score memo that contains the merged score.
3. Fax to DRC copies of the student reports that require the merge.
![Page 49: LEAP, i LEAP , & LAA 2 Test Administration Training Spring 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56813521550346895d9c822f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2Merge Procedures
After receiving the designated primary and secondary student reports from a district, DRC will merge the student’s records and send a score memo to the district.
After DRC has performed a Phase 1/Phase 2 merge and the scores are loaded to LEAPweb, the districts will still see the two records in LEAPweb:
The primary record will contain the student’s complete score. The secondary record will remain in Web history but will not have
scores linked to it.
The district will then need to perform a student history merge in LEAPweb to eliminate the secondary student record.
NOTE: When DRC performs a LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2 merge, they cannot update any demographic fields, even if a district has requested that changes be made.
