Dear Supervisor,

Following is the test for SCHEDULE B which follows the final lesson (nine) of Step One. READ ALL OF THIS FIRST AND DO NOT SHOW THIS PAGE TO YOUR STUDENT!

Please number your paper or email message page from 1 through 71 in preparation for the answers to the following test questions:

Read the directions with your student, one question at a time. Allow your student the time he or she needs to think about the answers. Have your student type in the answers using your keyboard or dictate them to you but DO NOT influence your student to arrive at any conslusions. Let him or her show their own merits on this final test.

Again, I repeat: Write down the numbers one through seventy-one in preparation for your answers to the following test. You do NOT have to record the time it takes to complete this test although it should be finished in one setting without any breaks.
