with tools to assist in delivering focused instructional programs aligned to the Pennsylvania Core Standards. These tools include the standards, assessment anchor documents, Keystone Exams Test Definition, Classroom Diagnostic Tool, Standards Aligned System, and content-based item and scoring samplers. This 2021 Algebra I Item and Scoring Sampler is a useful tool for Pennsylvania educatorsin preparing students for the Keystone Exams by providing samples of test item types and scored student responses. The Item Sampler is not designed to be used as a pretest, a curriculum, or other benchmark for operational testing.  \nThis Item and Scoring Sampler contains released operational multiple-choice and constructedresponse items that have appeared on previously administered Keystone Exams. These items will not appear on any future Keystone Exams. Released items provide an idea of the types of items that have appeared on operational exams and that will appear on future operational Keystone Exams. Each item has been through a rigorous review process to ensure alignment with the Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content. This sampler includes items that measure a variety of Assessment Anchor or Eligible Content statements, but it does not include sample items for all Assessment Anchor or Eligible Content statements.  \nTypically an item and scoring sampler is released every year to provide students and educators with a resource to assist in delivering focused instructional programs aligned to the PCS. However, due to the cancellation of standardized testing in 2019–2020, the 2021 Item and Scoring Sampler is a revised version of the previously released 2017 Item and Scoring Sampler. This revised version ensures that students and educators have an enhanced item and scoring sampler to use during instruction and/or preparation of students to take the Keystone Exam.  \nThe items in this ","cbCairmF9MXudxcP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairmF9MXudxcP","pdf",3710837,108,"English","# Information About Algebra I\n## Introduction\n## About the Keystone Exams\n## Alignment\n## Depth of Knowledge\n## Exam Format\n## Item and Scoring Sampler Format\n## Algebra I Exam Directions\n## General Description of Scoring Guidelines for Algebra I\n## Formula Sheet\n# Algebra I Module 1\n## Multiple-Choice Items\n## Constructed-Response Item\n# Algebra I Module 2\n## Multiple-Choice Items\n## Constructed-Response Item","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2021 Algebra I Item and Scoring Sampler?\",\"answer\":\"It provides Pennsylvania educators and students with sample item types and scored student responses to support focused instruction and preparation for the Keystone Exams.\"},{\"question\":\"Are the released items used in future Keystone Exams?\",\"answer\":\"No. Released operational items included in the sampler will not appear on any future Keystone Exams.\"},{\"question\":\"How are Algebra I Keystone Exam questions organized?\",\"answer\":\"The exam is divided into two modules: Module 1 focuses on Operations and Linear Equations \\u0026 Inequalities, and Module 2 focuses on Linear Functions and Data Organizations.\"}]","Pennsylvania Keystone Exams - Algebra I - Item and Scoring Sampler - 2021 | PDF",1790764312,272]
