The administration of the final recorded text tests differs from that of the pilot tests mainly in the sampling procedure. The process also becomes more complicated and fatiguing when there is more than one test given. When you familiarize yourself with the steps in this process and practice them, you will be better prepared to administer an RTT properly and prevent or reduce errors.
Rotate Texts If a test subject has to listen to several tests, he or she may get tired toward the end and not listen as closely. Rotating the texts equalizes the effect fatigue has on the scores. Sometimes it is not possible or appropriate to give the test in private, and you must do it in a public place. Rotation also prevents bystanders from memorizing the answers that they think they should use, because they will be listening to a different test at that point.
