Learn more about forthcoming Assessment Testing & get instructions for taking practice test

Smarter Balanaced? SBAC? Find out more about the Common Core and the new assessments rolling out this Spring. Follow the instructions provided at right and a link to the Practice Test is also included.

These next-generation assessments are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English language arts/literacy and mathematics for grades 3-8 and 11. That means students in all states will be taught to the same high standards.

Smarter Balanced will provide parents, students, and teachers a clearer window on whether students are on track to graduate high school, ready for college and the workplace. The assessments will be ready by the 2014-2015 school year.

Parents and students will receive the results of these assessments from their school system in a readable and easy-to-understand format, most likely online. And parents can use this information to better communicate with teachers and school administrators about their child’s success.
