When the Test is Over, Do the Following: Ask test takers to take out their ID documents again. Collect the test books individually from each test taker in the same order in which you handed them out. As you pick up the answer sheets, check the test takers’ ID documents against what has been entered on the answer sheets. This ensures you are receiving a single answer sheet from each test taker. Do not have answer sheets passed to you along rows.
