Standardized tests.
Summary
Existing law requires a test sponsor of a standardized test to provide test subjects materials for not fewer than 50% of regular test administrations, rounded to the nearest larger whole number. This bill would change the required calculation for the number of test administrations from which a test sponsor must provide test materials to a test subject to 50% of regular test administrations, unless the resulting number is a fraction, in which case the number would be rounded down to the nearest whole number, instead of up.
