Q: What are the Smarter Balanced Interim assessments?
A: The interim assessments are one component of the Smarter Balanced assessment system and are designed to support teaching and student learning throughout the year and provide information to inform instruction. The items are developed under the same conditions, protocols, and review procedures as those used in the summative assessments.

Q: Are students required to take interim assessments?
A: The interim assessments are optional, and are recommended. They enable teachers to check student progress throughout the year, providing actionable information to inform instruction and help students meet the challenge of college- and career-ready standards.

Overview
Q: How can I administer an interim assessment?
A: Interim tests are administered in the same way as summative tests. The Test Administrator (TA) must use the TA Interface (linked on http://caaspp.org) and the student must log onto the test through the secure browser.
2015 Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments: Part II 12
Overview
Q: How will the interim assessments be scored?
A: Most responses are machine scored. All open-ended responses are hand scored by a TA through the interim assessment hand scoring module. The machine-scored results are held until the open-ended portions of the test have been hand scored and submitted. The results are then combined to generate a student report.
