  37. Test Parts • Each subject of the CST and CMA is divided into “parts.” Each part must be administered in a single sitting. • CST test parts SHOULD be administered contiguously without another test interrupting.

  38. Test Parts CST Times • Estimates of the time required by most students • Plan for students who might run over on CSTs or CMA
