These tools include Academic Standards, Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content (AAEC) documents, assessment handbooks, and content-based item and scoring samplers  . This Item and Scoring Sampler is a useful tool for Pennsylvania educators in preparing local instructional programs 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 any other benchmark for operational testing  .  \nThis Item and Scoring Sampler is available in Braille format  . For more information regarding Braille, call (717) 901-2238 .  \nPennsylvania Core Standards (PCS)  \nThis sampler contains examples of test questions designed to assess the Pennsylvania Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content aligned to the PCS  . The Mathematics, Reading, and Writing PSSA transitioned to PCS-based operational Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments starting with the spring 2015 PSSA administration  .  \nThe PCS-aligned Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content documents are posted on this portal:  \n¾ [www.education.pa.gov](www.education.pa.gov) [Hover over “Data and Reporting,” select “Assessment and Accountability,” and select “PSSA-PA System of School Assessment  .” Then select“Assessment Anchors/Eligible Content” on the right side of the screen .]  \nWhat Is Included  \nThis sampler contains test questions, or test “items,” that have been written to align to the Assessment Anchors that are based on the PCS  . The sample test questions model the types of items that may appear on an operational PSSA  . Each sample test question has been through a rigorous review process to ensure alignment with the Assessment Anchors prior to being piloted in an embedded field test within a PSSA assessment and then used operationally on a PSSA assessment  .
