We're nearing completion of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Field Test for our students in Grades 3-8 and 11. There are two Math tests and two English Language Arts (ELA) tests. Our testing window is open until mid-May, but we hope to complete all testing right around Spring Break. Each portion of the test takes about 1hr 15mins to complete, on average. As this is the Field Test for the new Common Core curriculum adopted by Montana, this year's test is a test of the procedures and questions, and does not count toward Adequate Yearly Progress. Test results will not be released this year. The "real" test begins next Spring of 2015.
