One key area introduced into the new standards was an emphasis on clusters. Clusters consist of groups of related standards, and the Academic Standards organize clusters into three classifications:  \nMajor, Supporting, and Additional. As a result, the 2026 ISASP Math specifications represent a balance that is consistent with the statement “at least 65% and up to 85% of class time should be dedicated to the Major Work… ”(IA Standards, p. 4) . In addition, Supporting and Additional Clusters also contribute to the test specifications.  \nISASP specifications have been designed so that at least 65% of the items on each test are aligned to standards within the Major Clusters. To that end, an additional seven items have been added to the Grades 3-8 tests from the previous specifications to increase coverage of Major Clusters. Additionally, to be consistent with the Iowa Academic Standards and the requirements of alignment for ISASP, ISASP specifications will continue to support reporting at each domain level.  \nAdaptive Testing  \nFor the 2026 administration, Mathematics tests in grades 3-8 will move to an adaptive design, allowing for greater precision for measuring student performance across the entire performance continuum.  \nSpecification Tables  \nTable 1 provides the items totals for Mathematics by grade. Although ISASP is an untimed test,  \nTable 2 provides recommended administration times. Table 3 provides the percentage of items on each test form aligned to each Depth-of-Knowledge (DOK) level. Tables 4-9 provide domain, cluster, and standards-level specifications.  \n• The reporting structure for ISASP emphasizes both total test score and domain-level information. The specifications provide the information necessary to evaluate the domain-level information.  \n• ISASP is an annual summative assessment designed to assess proficiency of grade-level standards. Given this purpose, the specifications reflect the breadth and depth of the clusters and standards within domain. Domain-level ranges are used for test assembly  \npurposes. The ranges of clusters and standards within a domain provide guidance at amore detailed level.  \nTable 10 provides alignment information to the Major, Supporting, and Additional Clusters.  \n• These ranges represent the minimum and maximum numbers of items from each cluster type that could appear on a test.  \nTable 1.
