These items have been selected to show some of the new approaches to measuring the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS) that can be found in the assessment  . The practice test items are fully representative of all possible item types included in CAST . The practice test covers a selection of items from performance expectations (PEs) assessed in grade eight  .  \nThis scoring guide should be used alongside the online practice tests, which can be accessed on the Practice and Training Tests web page  . Annotated responses are also available to help explain the rationale for each score point on selected constructed response items from the practice test on the Practice and Training Test Resources web page  .  \nThe following information is presented in a metadata table  . Metadata contains specific information about each item, including the alignment of the item with the CA NGSS  .  \nItem: This is the question number that corresponds to the question as it appears in the practice test  .  \nKey: This represents the correct answer(s) to the item or question and includes the score point value for the item and its parts  . Items are worth either one or two points  . For some technology-enhanced items, a screen capture of the correct answers is included  . Exemplars and rubrics are provided for constructed-response items  .  \nPE Code: This references the standards that describe what students should know and be able to do  .  \nScience and Engineering Practices (SEPs): These are descriptions of behaviors that students engage in as they investigate the natural world and design solutions  . Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs): These are essential ideas in the science disciplines that all students should understand  .  \nCrosscutting Concepts (CCCs): These are interdisciplinary skills students should exhibit that unify the study of science and engineering through common application across fields  .  \nItem-Level Claim Statement (ILCS): This is a brief statement that illustrates how an item aligns with the PE  .  \nGrade Eight Practice Test Items Items 1–6  \n\n| Item | Key | PE | SEP | DCI | CCC | ILCS |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | First dropdown list: 2 Second dropdown list: oxygen (1 point) | MSPS1-1 | 2.
