Record the subject's performance separately.
For each clue, record how often it appears with a () check mark.
If subject sways, indicate how often with a () check mark.
Indicate above the feet the number they were counting when they put their foot down.
Check marks should be made to indicate the number of times the subject swayed, used
arms, hopped or put foot down.
Place () check marks in or near the small boxes to indicate how many times you
observed each of the clues.
In addition, if the subject puts the foot down during the test, record when it happened.
For example, suppose that, when standing on the left leg, the subject lowered the right
foot at a count of "one thousand thirteen," and again at "one thousand twenty.”
If subject uses arms to balance, indicate how often arms were raised.
If subject hops, indicate how many hops were taken.
If subject puts foot down, indicate how many times the foot came down.
If the subject is unable to safely complete the test, you may stop the test early.
Document the reasons the test was stopped.
At end of the test, examine each clue and determine how many clues have been
recorded.
In the section labeled "other", record any facts, circumstances, conditions or
observations that may be relevant to this test.

Officers who are video recording the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests may choose to
document any observed clues by voicing them into the recording as the clues are
observed.
