Conflict of Interest

Test coordinators may not serve in that role for a specific assessment at the same testing school that a member of household or immediate family is testing for that same assessment.

• For example: Sheila is the test coordinator for SAT School Day and the PSAT/NMSQT during the October testing window. She has a household member taking the PSAT 8/9 during the same testing window at her school. A different staff member is serving as test coordinator for the PSAT 8/9. Sheila and her family member are not in violation of the conflict of interest policy in this case.

Test coordinators and technology monitors may serve as testing staff at a different location on the same day that a member of household or immediate family is testing elsewhere without violating the conflict of interest agreement.

Proctors must never have a member of household or immediate family member testing in their assigned room. They may proctor a different room while the student is testing in the same school on the same day.

Failure to comply with the conflict of interest policies may result in cancellation of the student's score.
