About the Practice Test Directions for Administration (DFA) This manual contains directions and the specific scripts you will need to administer practice tests for the California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) for English language arts/literacy and mathematics. It is a companion document to the online practice tests.

The purpose of the CAA practice tests is to allow students and test examiners to become familiar with grade-level CAA test questions. The practice tests provide a sample of the question types and grade-level content that appear on the CAA operational tests. There is a grade-specific CAA practice test available for each tested grade, three through eight and eleven.

Please note that the practice tests and training tests do not produce scores. These training tests are available all year and may be used at any time in preparation for the operational CAA tests that are administered in the spring.

Practice tests can be administered in one of two ways:

Using the same procedures as the operational tests, with the Test Administrator Interface, secure browser, and individual student logon information; or

Using a standard supported Web browser to access the training tests directly, without use of the Test Administrator Interface or secure browser.

For more information on all aspects of the CAAs, including test security, item types, and guidelines, refer to the Online Test Administration Manual for California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress Testing that is linked on the Manuals and Instructions Web page at http://www.caaspp.org/administration/instructions/.

Using the Directions for Administration

There are two parts in this DFA, one for each content area. All DFAs begin with English language arts/literacy (ELA), but either content area may be administered first.

The scripts are presented in table formats with two columns. The first column contains the administration scripts to be read to the student. The text associated with the “POINT,” “SAY,” and “READ” prompts apply to all students. The second column

contains alternative text, which should only be read to students with visual impairments

to describe images. Follow the scripts exactly as written and in the item order

presented in the document.

“POINT,” “SAY,” and “READ”

This DFA contains a script for administration of a CAA for ELA and Mathematics. Keyword instructions for test examiners will be as follows:

Instruction in the DFA How the Test Examiner Should Proceed

SAY

The test examiner reads the material out loud to the student.

POINT to the flowers.

The test examiner points to the information on the screen.

READ each option and POINT TO

or

POINT TO and SAY What is the total number of flowers?

The test examiner reads each option on the screen out loud while pointing to the information on the screen.

DO The test examiner performs an action.

Actions are listed as bullet points.

Mathematical Symbols

In the mathematics test, some of the DFAs will use mathematical expressions rather than spell out in words the expressions. Please use the following table guide to how these are read aloud to the student.

Symbol Mathematical expression How to read aloud

+ 4 + 4 four plus four

= 4 + 4 = 8 four plus four equals eight

x 3 x 2 three times two

– 3 – 2 three minus two

÷ 4 ÷ 2 four divided by two

> 4 > 3 four is greater than three

≥ x ≥ 3 x is greater than or equal to three

% 50% fifty percent

Student Responses

The CAAs are designed for one-on-one administration between a student and a test examiner familiar with the student. When able, students provide responses directly into the testing device. In some cases, the test examiner selects the responses indicated by the student by means that may include, but are not limited to gesture, eye gaze, and an alternative communicative device. In all cases, responses must come from the student and not from the test examiner. Hand-over-hand or other physical prompting by the test examiner is not permitted on any CAA test.

Pausing and Stopping the Test during Testing

Students who orient and respond typically take approximately 95 cumulative minutes or less to successfully complete an ELA or mathematics test. The test examiner may pause and resume testing if the student is no longer engaged, is not actively participating, or is showing signs of behavioral or functional concerns related to the test. The test may be paused and resumed as many times as necessary to allow students to perform well, including testing over multiple days.

If a student does not regain productivity and engagement, even after allowing breaks over multiple days, a test examiner may end a student’s test. To end the test early, advance through the remaining test items and then submit the test. In the post-testing survey—the Survey of Student Characteristics (SSC)—indicate that the test ended early.

For more information on all aspects of the CAAs, including test security, item types, and guidelines, refer the CAASPP Manuals and Instructions Web page, Online Test Administration Manual for CAASPP Testing.
