══════════════ RATING SCORE ────────────── A 135–212 B 105–134 C+ 75–104 C 45–74 C− 25–44 D 15–24 D−[5] 0–14 ────────────── Footnote 5: Recalled for further examination. All ratings above “D−” are entered and reported at once. Men whose scores are below “D” are recalled for examination Beta. Ratings of “D−” may not be given in Alpha, unless recall of the men for Beta is impossible. _Method of Giving the Army Beta Tests._ In practice the Beta tests, reproduced in facsimile on pages 313 to 322 following, are given with the assistance of a blackboard chart on which the different tests are painted in white, so that the examiner can show them to the entire group before they see them on their examination papers. There are also required for giving the Beta tests a set of cardboard cubes for the examiner’s use in explaining Test 2, and a set of cardboard pieces cut to the shapes of the figures in Test 7, though of much larger size. The assistance of a demonstrator is also required. _Procedure._ It is most important that examination Beta be given in a genial manner. The subjects who take this examination sometimes sulk and refuse to work. E. and his assistants will find it necessary to fill out most of the headings for the men before the examination begins. The time required for this preparatory work may be used to advantage in making the men feel at ease. As the demonstration preparatory to each test requires some time, the “pencils up” command is omitted in examination Beta. The examiner’s platform should be so high that he can readily see whether or not the subjects are working. Great care should be taken to prevent the overanxious from beginning work before the command “Go.” Seating conditions should be such that subjects cannot copy from one another and the rule that copying shall not be allowed should be enforced strictly. The blackboard should at all times be kept clean so that the visual conditions may be excellent and constant. The blackboard figures for Test 1 should be exposed when the subjects enter the examining room. _As soon as a test has been demonstrated and the men have been told to go ahead, the blackboard should be covered and kept covered until time is called._ It should not be turned to the next test until the men have been ordered to stop work on a given test. Care should be taken to have the physical conditions of examination reasonably uniform.
