These tests are not meant to tell the whole story. They are meant to be combined with other measures, including teacher feedback, classwork and projects, and report card grades. Together, these measures can give families a more complete picture of a student’s performance so they can better support learning at home and advocate for their child.  \nState Assessments 101  \nThe Every Student Succeeds Act or ESSA, requires students to take state tests in reading and math every year in third through eighth grade and once in high school. In Nevada, students in third through eighth grade take Smarter Balanced in English language arts and math. Students also take a science test in fifth, eighth and 10th grade. High school students take the ACT in 11th grade, which includes reading, writing, math and science, and is required to earn a diploma.  \nIn Nevada, state colleges and universities use scores from the ACT to determine if a student has the necessary skills to start taking college-level courses. If a student earns a minimum score in English and math (English: 18; math: 22), they will be placed directly in credit-earning courses without having to take a placement test.  \nA Family Guide to Annual State Tests in Nevada  \nStudents who don’t meet the minimum score may have to take a remedial course before they begin taking college-level courses for credit.  \nStudies show that third grade is a critical year for students to learn fundamental reading skills that will help them understand and think critically about what they read. Beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, Nevada requires all students in third grade to achieve at least a Level 2 on the reading portion of the Smarter Balanced test to move onto fourth grade. If a student does not achieve a Level 2, the school will provide additional support and interventions to help the student improve critical reading skills. The student may also take a different reading test to show they have the reading skills necessary to move onto fourth grade.  \nA Focus on Grade Level Skills  \nUnlike other tests, Smarter Balanced is focused on grade level material and is aligned to the state standards. The test questions match what students do and learn in the classroom everyday throughout the year, which are the skills that are most important for students to learn in order to move on to more challenging content.  \nSmarter Balanced is taken online and is computer adaptive, which means it adjusts the difficulty of the questions based on the student’s responses. The test includes a variety of different types of questions, including real world problems that ask students to show and explain their answer, write well-developed essays and analyze text. Nevada teachers have worked closely with the state to write and review test questions.  \nGrade 6: Math  \nWhich number line shows the correct locations of all the given values?  \n~~72~~ ,–4 ,– ~~34~~ , 1 ~~14~~  \nA   \n-4 -2 0 2 B   \n-4 -2 0 2 C   \n-4 -2 0 2 D    \n-4 -2 0 2  \nGrade 3: ELA  \nWhich sentence from the passage supports the idea that the Coleman brothers have experience with making maple syrup?  \nA “The Coleman brothers—Nelson Ralph, and Harold—step out their front door in Vermont.”  \nB “As they pass the 75-year-old sugarmaple trees, sap drips from holes in the trees into metal buckets.”  \nC “Every spring, the Colemans tap holes into sugar-maple trees, then hang a bucket under each hole to catch the sap.”  \nD “They don’t worry too much about why the sap is running in their trees this morning.”  \nA Family Guide to Annual State Tests in Nevada  \nUseful Information for All  \n FAMILIES:  Understanding Grade Level Performance  \nThe Smarter Balanced report gives families information on how well their child performed on different sets of skills in each subject.
