This is necessary t prepare fr Indiana s future assessments t be ready if items are needed t supplement a test that may be purchased fr use in Indiana, and if the current ISTEP+ assessment must be used while a new assessment system is being develped. Imprtant Ntes: ISTEP+ Practice Tests The ISTEP+ Practice Tests are required fr all students and may be used instructinally again this year. Details are sent t Crpratin Test Crdinatrs (CTCs) fr disseminatin t schls. ISTEP+ Part 1 and Part 2 Testing Times The testing times are maximum amunts, and the number f minutes per test sectin is set t make sure that students d nt feel rushed. If all f the students in the class finish befre the end f the test sectin, the teacher may call time and end the test sectin early. Online and paper/pencil testing times are the same. Keep in mind that additinal time is needed fr students t lg in t the nline test sectins. Test Sectin Order Fr the Spring 2017 ISTEP+ administratin, there are n test sectins that must be administered n the same day. The test administratin rder may be determined lcally by cntent area. When creating a lcal test schedule, keep in mind that students must cmplete all f the test sectins fr ne cntent area befre mving n t the next cntent area, with the exceptin f cnducting make-up tests if a student has been absent. Either Mathematics OR English/Language Arts may be administered first, fllwed by the ther cntent area (Math r ELA) secnd. Science r Scial Studies, if applicable, is administered third. All sectins within a cntent area must be administered in rder. 1
A cntent area must be administered cmpletely t students prir t giving the test sectins fr the next cntent area. (One exceptin: cnducting make-up tests if a student has been absent) Acceptable Example #1: All Math sectins All ELA sectins All Science (r Scial Studies) sectins Acceptable Example #2: All ELA sectins All Math sectins All Science (r Scial Studies) sectins NOT Acceptable Example: Math Sectin 1 ELA Sectin 1 Math Sectin 2 ELA Sectin 2 Etc. Testing Grups Schls may chse t test students with their cntent area teachers (e.g., the Math teacher administers the Math prtin f ISTEP+; the ELA teacher administers the ELA prtin, etc.). Separate test sectins in the nline platfrm, as well as separate test bks by cntent area fr the paper/pencil test administratin, enable schls t chse this ptin. It is anticipated that middle schls and high schls, in particular, may prefer this ptin. If a middle schl r high schl chses t administer the assessment with cntent area teachers (i.e., Math test given by the Math teacher, ELA test given by the ELA teacher, etc.), schls are nt required t administer the same test sessin simultaneusly t students in a grade level. Fr schls chsing t implement this ptin, it is permissible fr sme students in a grade level t take the Math test first, while ther students in the grade level take the ELA test first. Schls need t be mindful when creating test schedules t avid having students spend a cnsiderable amunt f time taking tests in multiple cntent areas n the same day. 2
