  3. Replacement CD’s • Your district may have been sent a data CD with an incorrect year in position 111, “Testing Start Date.” The year portion of this field, which is automatically added in an effort to reduce district bubbling, was not updated for 2013, which resulted in incorrect data in this field. This issue is limited to the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) data CD and does not affect any student scores or any paper reports. Post-Test Workshop

After order approval, test administration dates are NOT changeable. Post-Test Workshop

  6. What’s New in 2013 • Enrollment and exit code data to determine which students are counted as “continuously enrolled” for accountability purposes, previously collected for (CBEDS), were not collected on STAR answer documents or in Pre-ID.
