WHAT’S NEW FOR 2012-13
Grades 3-8 2012-2013
• Old tests available—frameworks only
multiple selection guides (just omit the
green)—20 MC and 1 OR
• New tests for 2012-13—CCSS only—multiple
selection guides—30 MC and 1 PT
• Selection N (new)—CCSS only—no selection
guide—30 MC and 1 PT
• Pre and Post tests for all new tests are CCSS
with 40 MC questions.
HIGH SCHOOL 2012-2013
• Tests based on the Arkansas frameworks
Algebra 1 EOC still used as high stakes test
Geometry EOC still requires remediation
No Algebra 2 EOC
• Use old selection guides
• New colored selection guides will be available,
but not tested. Use for study of what is
coming.
• No Selection N for high school
Benefits of Selection N 3-8
Selection N solves these problems:
“I don’t like to teach in this order!”
“I am not ready to be tested on that—I’m
not finished!”
Confusion over selection guides (testing
guidelines)
Benefits of Selection N 3-8
• Will follow PARCC Model Content Frameworks
Major—greatest emphasis (most assessed)
depth of ideas
time it takes to master
importance to future mathematics
demands of college/career readiness
Supporting—designed to support and strengthen
areas of major emphasis (assessed through
support of major topics)
Additional—may not connect tightly to other
standards—do not omit—leaves gaps
Benefits of Selection N 3-8
Use Content and Learning Progressions
• Pre test question
Interim 1 - lowest level
Interim 2 - medium level
Interim 3 - highest level
• Post test question parallel to pre test question
• Can follow a question type from pre test,
through interims, and then to post
Benefits of Selection N 3-8
Use the multiple test reports
SCIENCE
• Pre and Post tests are parallel and the same as
last year’s tests. They have 40 Multiple Choice
Items.
• 3 interim tests all released at the same time
(LIFE, PHYSICAL, EARTH AND SPACE). School
can give these when they wish.
• 4 Biology interim tests each released at the
same time. School can give them at any time
they wish.
• There is no selection guide for science.
