ASSESSMENT UPDATES

FSA WRITING

• Major change to the Writing Rubrics for Secondary:• Students must cite evidence in order to receive a score point of 3

in Evidence and Elaboration.

• FSA Scoring:• Since it is a graduation requirement, 10th grade is the only grade

that will be scored by two human graders.• All other grades, except 4th, will be scored by a human and

Artificial Intelligence (AI, computer). • When there is a discrepancy in scoring larger than one point, the

score goes to the human score.

FSA UPDATES

• Know your standards! • Example of Standard Interpretation- 3.7 ("multi-media"

compare/contrast standard) does not have to be audio, video, etc. There will be no video on the FSA yet, but there could be poetry and prose as different mediums.

• If students are asked to give multiple answers, the number would be bold.

• Example- With which two sentences would the author agree?• The Open Responses in ELA FSA should be between 3-5 sentences.

An introductory sentence is not required for this response. • Editing Task with Choices or Editing Tasks- Students need must

understand if they are choosing "no correction needed," they must actually click that in order to move to the next item.

• Students can replay multimedia items as many times as needed.

FSA MATH UPDATES: CALCULATORSGraphing calculators will not be used on FSA Math EOCs.

(Algebra 1, Geometry, & Algebra 2)Scientific calculator will be used on all FSA math assessments

grades 7 and up.The scientific calculators is available for Sessions 2 and 3 of the

Grades 7-8 test and for Session 2 of all EOCsHandheld scientific calculators may be provided to ALL students

during the calculator-allowed session(s).FDOE will NOT provide a list of approved handheld calculators

for FSA tests. They will provide a list of allowable and not-allowable functionalities for the scientific calculator.

FSA MATH UPDATES: ITEM TYPESNatural Language Response – Responses do not

have to be grammatically correct including spelling. Student response should be clear and concise.

Multi-Select Responses- Responses will consist of at least 2 or more choices.

All multi-select and drag and drop responses are worth 1 point. There is no partial credit.

Items could combine more than one item type.FSA Math Updates: Item Types

TRAINING TEST

FSA training tests will be updated and released this month.

The draft Mathematics Policy document that is posted to the FSA Portal will be updated this month to reflect the new information.

SAT COMMON PROMPT INFORMATION

In the essay, students are asked to write a clear response based on the comprehension and analysis of a source text, supporting their claims and points about the text with evidence drawn from the passage. While the source text will be different for each form of the SAT, the prompt will be largely consistent in format and wording across administrations.

SAT VS. FSA WRITING PROMPT GUIDELINES

SATAs you read the passage below, consider how [the author] uses

Evidence, such as facts or examples, to support claims.

Reasoning to develop ideas and to connect claims and evidence.

Stylistic or persuasive elements, such as word choice or appeals to emotion, to add power to the ideas expressed.

____________________________________________________

Write an essay in which you explain how [the author] builds an argument to persuade [his/her] audience that [author’s claim]. In your essay, analyze how [the author] uses one or more of the features listed above (or features of your own choice) to strengthen the logic and persuasiveness of [his/her] argument. Be sure that your analysis focuses on the most relevant aspects of the passage.

Your essay should not explain whether you agree with [the author’s] claims, but rather explain how the author builds an argument to persuade [his/her] audience.

FSAWrite an argumentative essay in which you… Use information from the texts in your essay.

Manage your time carefully so that you can

Read the passages;

Plan your response;

Write your response; and

Revise and edit your response.

Be sure to

Include a claim;

Address counterclaims;

Use evidence from multiple sources; and

Avoid overly relying on one source.

Type your response in the space provided.

You have ____ minutes to read, plan, write, revise, and edit your response.

KEY CHANGES TO THE SAT

1. Relevant Words in Context Students will need to:

• Interpret meaning based on context

• Master relevant vocabulary

• Engage in close reading

2. Command of EvidenceStudents will be asked to:

• Interpret, synthesize, and use evidence found in a wide range of sources

• Support the answers they choose

• Integrate information conveyed through both reading passages and informational graphics

3. Essay Analyzing a SourceThe redesigned essay will:

• More closely mirror college writing assignments

• Cultivate close reading, careful analysis, and clear writing

• Promote the practice of reading a wide variety of arguments and analyzing an author’s work

4. Analysis in Science and Social Studies

Students will apply their reading, writing, language, and math skills to answer questions in science, history, and social studies contexts.

5. Founding Documents and Great Global

Conversation

The redesigned SAT will include one of the following: • An excerpt from one of the Founding Documents• A text from the ongoing Great Global Conversation

about freedom, justice, and human dignity

No prior knowledge of the text will be required.

6. Math Focuses on Three Key Areas

Current research shows that three key areas most contribute to readiness for college and career training:

Problem Solving and Data Analysis (quantitative literacy) Heart of Algebra (mastery of linear equations) Passport to Advanced Math (familiarity with more complex

equations)

KEY CHANGES TO THE SAT7. Problems Grounded in Real-World ContextsStudents will engage with questions that:

• Directly relate to the work performed in college and career

• Include charts, graphs, and passages likely to be encountered in science, social science, and other majors and careers

• Feature multistep applications to solve problems in science, social science, career scenarios, and other real-life contexts

8. No Penalty for Wrong Answers• One point for each correct answer

• Zero points for unanswered items

• Zero points for wrong answers

No prior knowledge of the text will be required.
