Currently under development, the CAST will be field-tested in 2017‒18 and administered operationally in 2018‒19.  \nThe CAST measures what students know and can do using the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS), which focus on understanding the concepts across such scientific areas as life science, earth and space science, and physical science. These standards use disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts to help students understand how science works in the natural world.  \nWHY IS THE CAST GIVEN?  \nThe purpose of the CAST is to measure what students know and can do (student achievement) and to foster science education at every grade level. In addition, the CAST is intended to help students learn the knowledge and skills they need for college and careers.  \nThe 2017‒18 CAST field test will try out newly developed items and test system functionality.  \nWHO TAKES THE CAST?  \nThe 2017‒18 CAST field test will be administered to all students in grades five and eight.  \nFor grades ten, eleven, and twelve, certain students will be expected to participate on the basis of the last science course they completed.  \nHOW IS THE CAST GIVEN?  \nThe CAST field test is a computer-based test that consists of stand-alone items and includes two or three performance tasks.  \nThese performance tasks require students to solve a series of complex problems. Testing should take approximately two hours to complete.  \nWHEN IS THE CALIFORNIA SCIENCE TEST GIVEN?  \n2017–18 2018–19  \nFIELD TEST* OPERATIONAL  \nApril–July 2018 January–July 2019  \n* Until development of the test has been completed and reviewed, no student scores or aggregated results will be released.  \nFor additional information, call your local educational agency CAASPP coordinator or visit the California Department of Education California Science Test Web page at [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppscience.asp](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppscience.asp).  \nAugust 2017","cbCait2Yba5zVAoO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait2Yba5zVAoO","pdf",274597,"English","# What is the CAST Field Test?\n## Why is the CAST given?\n## Who takes the CAST?\n## How is the CAST given?\n## When is the California Science Test given?","[{\"question\":\"What is the California Science Test (CAST)?\",\"answer\":\"The CAST is part of California’s CAASPP state testing program.
