Introduction to Practice Test Scoring Guide

November 2019 California Alternate Assessment Practice Test Scoring Guide 1

Introduction to Practice Test Scoring Guide The California Alternate Assessment Mathematics Practice Test Scoring Guides provide details about the items, student response types, correct responses, and related scoring considerations for the California Alternate Assessment Practice Test items. The items selected for the Practice Test are designed to reflect

• a broad coverage of claims and targets that closely mirror the summative blueprint.

• a range of student response types.

• a breadth of difficulty levels across the items, ranging from easier to more difficult items.

It is important to note that all student response types are not fully represented on every practice test, but a distribution can be observed across all the practice tests. The items presented are reflective of refinements and adjustments to language based on pilot test results and expert recommendations from both content and accessibility perspectives. Within this guide, each item is presented with the following information:

• Grade: Grade level for the item

• Category: a broad content area that contains related targets and standards (i.e., Writing)

• Core Content Connector (Connector): Alternative achievement standard linked to a Common Core State Standard (CCSS)

• Tier: Level that identifies the complexity of an item. Tier levels are 1, 2, and 3.

• Static presentation of the item: static presentation of item from test administration system

• Static presentation of student response field(s): static presentation of response field from test administration system

• Answer key or exemplar: expected student response or example response from score point value

• Rubric and applicable score points for each item: score point representations for student responses

The following items are representative of the kinds of items that students can expect to experience when taking California Alternate Mathematics Assessment.
