Dear Principals and Directors of Charter Schools, Approved Private Special Education Schools, Educational Collaboratives,
Special Education in Institutional Settings, and Alternative Adult/External Diploma Programs:
The purpose of this website is for you to order additional test materials
for the March 2013 MCAS retests and the spring 2013 MCAS test administrations.
Please verify the quantity of materials shipped to you before ordering additional materials. For the
spring test administration, standard test materials are normally shipped with a quantity in excess of the original order.
Test materials for the spring grades 4, 7, and 10 ELA Composition Make-up are included with your school’s shipment
(10% of your school’s total enrollment). Please order additional materials only if the quantities received in your shipment
are not sufficient for your testing needs.
In order to maintain standard test administration schedules across all schools, additional materials must be ordered according to the dates listed in the table below.

Please refer to the Department's website at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/
for information about administering the MCAS tests and retests. You are encouraged to download and print copies of
the administration manuals from the Department’s website instead of ordering hard copies from this website.
Full lists of test materials for each administration are available at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html.
If you need to order materials not listed on your Materials Summary but available for administration, please contact the
MCAS Service Center at 800-737-5103 to order that material.
Make sure to place a sufficient order for testing a student. For example, if you are ordering a test booklet for a student,
remember to also order an answer booklet (if necessary).
Please note that you will need to enter a grade-specific MP ship code from the Materials Summary form to order materials.
Thank you for understanding that ordering test materials by the prescribed deadlines is critical to their accurate and on-time delivery to your school.
