Interim Assessment Program
Fixed Form Sets of tests in Math and ELA
Monitor progress toward proficiency on selected critical content and skills in the Common Core State Standards
Administered 3 times during year

ELA Fixed-Form Test Design
Common Core State Standards Organizing Elements in Reading
Key Ideas & Details Author’s Craft & Structure Integration of Knowledge
Item Types Multiple Choice (1 pt) Evidence-Based Selected Response (2 pts) Constructed Response (4 pts)
Three test sessions, 30-45 minutes each Paired reading selection and 12 items per
session (36 items total)9
ELA Fixed-Form Test Design

Math Fixed-Form Test Design Common Core State Standards
Five to seven Common Core clusters were chosen to be measured at each grade level
The majority of the clusters are those identified by PARCC as major clusters in the PARCC Model Content Frameworks for Mathematics
Item Types Multiple Choice (1 pt) Short Answer – 1 point Short Answer – 2 points Constructed Response (4 pts)
Two test sessions, 30-45 minutes each 15 items in session 1, 16 items in session 2

administrator manual, roster Determine paper & pencil or computer
testing for each student Print test forms and answer sheets Print computer login tickets
15
Before Testing – Test Management
Student Assignment and MaterialsTeacher-Course-Student data determines test availability to teachers and student assignment
Students must be in the system to test
Contact RIDE helpdesk to update students or change student information
16
Before Testing – Student Software
Nimble Online Assessment kiosk must be downloaded to every student computer prior to testing
Browser-based software, prevents students from accessing other applications while testing

Before Testing – Computer Testing
Practice Test1.District schedules practice test2.Teacher selects and prints Student Login Tickets3.Teacher prints or downloads Practice Test Manual4.Student computers have Nimble Online Assessment software loaded5.Students take Practice Test
19
Before Testing – Computer Testing
Practice Test TipsContent of the test is not Common CoreIntent is to help students become comfortable using the systemLearn to navigate the system and experiment using toolsUnderstand two reading selections and answering questionsPractice answering math questions in text and with drawing tool
20
Before Testing – Computer Testing
1. Ensure every student has taken the practice test and is comfortable with the system
2. Print Student Login Tickets for each student for each test he or she will be taking
3. Print or download the Test Administration Manual
4. Print a paper answer sheet for any student who needs one for a math test*
*Students who find the math drawing tool difficult may elect to use a paper answer sheet for those questions
21
Before Testing – Paper Testing
1. Print individual Student Answer Sheets for each test
2. Print one copy of Test file3. Use roster to determine quantity of forms4. Photocopy test forms5. Match correct test form with each student’s
answer sheet6. Print or download Test Administration
ManualNote: There is no practice test for paper testing
