New Mexico New Mexico Standards-Standards-Based Based AssessmentAssessment Test DesignTest Design
Features of the Design Each test contains Core Items
Items that have been tested in the field, data collected, reviewed by NM educators, and determined to be valid assessment items
Core items are used to determine performance levels and other reported scores
NRT items Items that have been determined to align with NM content
standards are included in determination of Proficiency levels Used to establish vertical scaling across grades 3-9 No NRT scores are reported
Each test contains Field Test Items Items that have been developed, reviewed by NM educators,
and determined to be valid items that measure the standard New Mexico educators review the data on these field tested
items and determine which ones are eligible to be included in next year’s Core.
