York State Testing Program  \nGrade 5 English Language Arts Test  \nReleased Questions  \n2021  \nNew York State administered the English Language Arts Tests in April 2021 and is now making the questions from Session 1 of these tests available for review and use. Only Session 1 was required in 2021.  \nTHE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT /THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK /ALBANY, NY 12234  \nNew York State Testing Program  \nGrades 3–8 English Language Arts  \nReleased Questions from 2021 Tests  \nBackground  \nIn 2013, New York State (NYS) began administering tests designed to assess student performance in accordance with the instructional shifts and rigor demanded by the new New York State P–12 Learning Standards in English Language Arts (ELA) . To help in this transition to new assessments, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has been releasing a number of test questions from the tests that were administered to students across the State in the spring. This year, NYSEDis again releasing 2021 NYS Grades 3–8 English Language Arts and Mathematics test materials for review, discussion, and use.  \nIn February 2021, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic still forcing restrictions on all educational and learning activities statewide, NYSED submitted two federal waiver requests related to state assessment and accountability requirements. The waiver requests addressed the unique circumstances caused by the pandemic that have resulted in many students receiving some or all of their instruction remotely.  \nLater that month, the United States Department of Education (USDE) informed states that it would not grant a blanket waiver for state assessments. However, the USDE agreed to uncouple state assessments from the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) accountability requirements so that test results will be used solely as a measure of student learning. Additionally, it was decided that NYSED would administer only Session 1 of the Grades 3–8 ELA and Mathematics Tests for the Spring 2021 administration and that the tests would include previously administered questions.  \nThe decision to use previously administered test questions in this extraordinary year was based on guidance from nationally recognized experts in the assessment field and was recommended in a publication from the Council of Chief State School Officers to state education departments. Reusing test questions provided the benefit of having established scale scores and stable item parameters. Using previously administered test questions also ensured that it will be possible to develop new test forms for 2022 and beyond. Although it was not the driver of the decision, the reuse of previously administered test questions provided an opportunity for cost savings during these unique circumstances where the instructional models used by schools varied throughout the State.  \nFor 2021, the entire Session 1 booklet is being released as this is all that students were required to take. Additionally, NYSED is providing information about the released passages; the associated text complexity for each passage; a map that details what learning standards each released question measures; and the correct response to each question. These released materials will help students, families, educators, and the public better understand the tests and NYSED’s expectations for students.  \nUnderstanding ELA Questions  \nMultiple-Choice Questions  \nMultiple-choice questions are designed to assess the New York State P–12 Learning Standards in English Language Arts. These questions ask students to analyze different aspects of a given text, including central idea, style elements, character and plot development, and vocabulary. Almost all questions, including vocabulary questions, will be answered correctly only if the student comprehends and makes use of the whole passage.  \nFor multiple-choice questions, students select the correct response from four answer choices.
