7. What is an Evidence Statement? Evidence statements describe the knowledge and skills that a test question/item elicits from students. Each test question is coded to a specific evidence statement. In mathematics, PARCC evidence statement might: • Use the exact same language as the Common Core standards. • Focus on a specific part of a standard. • Integrate standards, by bringing together standards across a domain. Coded as “Int.” • Focus on mathematical reasoning. Coded with a “C” • Focus on mathematical modeling. Coded with a “D”
