The placement of the field test prompt may change from year to year; it may appear on day 1 or day 2 of testing. Therefore 1 writing prompt will not be used for scoring purposes. 2Field Test - One multiple-choice selection with items (6 MC items for both STAAR & STAAR Modified) will be embedded in the base test. The placement of the field test may change from year to year; it may appear on day 1 or day 2 of testing. 3For 7th graders, personal narrative has a clearly defined focus and communicates the importance of or reasons for actions and/or consequences.
The two types of writing assessed each year – personal narrative and expository – are always designated as Readiness Standards.
