State Resources

Two assessment models are available for states to choose from — Instructionally Embedded (IE) and Year-End (YE). A brief description of both models, as well as information for states assessing in science can be found below the table. The assessment is made up of a set of short assessments called testlets regardless of model or subject. Each state determines their model, as well as which subjects and grade levels will be assessed.

To access detailed instructions and assessment resources tailored to your program, select your state from the list below.
