Each bin was clearly labeled and designated for specific items, such as test booklets, answer documents, scratch paper, and accommodations tools, making it easy for staff to quickly sort, verify, and store materials.

Many shared that it felt like a \"real event,\" and they took the activities more seriously because everything looked important and intentional.\r\n\r\nThe addition of chips as a snack also played a meaningful role.
