Maintaining Test Security (Continued)
It is important to monitor the use of electronic devices during testing.
This will assist to decrease the chance of secure information being transmitted through social networking sites and various forms of technology.

API Rules: CAHSEE• Grade ten students who take the CAHSEE (March
Census) are included in the API:– 1000 points for a student who passes– 200 points for a student who does not pass
• Grades eleven and twelve students who take the CAHSEE are included in the API only if they receive a passing score.
59
API Rules: CAHSEE (Cont.)
• A grade ten make-up record must be matched to a census record using the Statewide Student Identifier (SSID) for the test score to be included in the API.
• “Non-matching” records will not be included in the API.
60
CAHSEE Census
• To report Census accurately for CALPADS, we need to turn in an answer document for each 10th grader whether they tested in March or not. Mark absent.
61
Practice Test
If a grade eleven student took the CAHSEE and passed the ELA portion, but did not pass the mathematics portion, would both results be included in the school’s API score?
62
Practice Test (Cont.)
• Only passing grade eleven and twelve CAHSEE results are included in the API. Therefore, the CAHSEE score for the ELA portion would be included but the score for the mathematics portion would not be included.
63
Answer: No
Practice Test (Cont.)
• A grade ten student took the following assessments:– CST:
• ELA, Life Science, and World History– CAHSEE:
• ELA • Mathematics
Based on the above information, which assessments would be included into the API calculator?
64
Practice Test (cont.)
All CST and CAHSEE results would be included in the calculator as is (i.e., there would be no adjustments made to the performance levels). However, because this student did not take an EOC CST in mathematics, this student would be counted in the “Far Below Basic” cell within the API calculator for mathematics.
65
