  7. 0 Step 1:Benchmark Assessment • Two (2) Benchmark Tests • Form A: Given in the First Quarter • Form B: Given in the Third Quarter • Pencil & Paper to Mimic Standard Tests • One test for Math, Reading, Science & Social Studies • Grade Level Test Booklet with 45-50 Questions • Contains two (2) questions per indicator, including open ended writing questions • Scan sheets are used to collect answers

  8. 0 Benchmark TestSample Question

  9. 0 Benchmark TestSample Answer Sheet • Consistent with traditional standardized tests • Either “pre-slugged” with personal data or filled in by teachers or students
