The Legislature wanted to data on both state and district-required tests. OSPI collected data on the 2015– 16 school year from 78 percent of districts via an online survey.  \nThe median testing time for state tests ranged from seven hours and twenty minutes in 3rd grade to nine hours and thirty minutes in 8th grade (Table 1) . This was within the range expected by OSPI. These testing times include passing out materials and technical help. Examples of state tests are:  \n• Smarter Balanced Assessments in math and reading  \n• End-of-course exams in math and science  \n• Science exams at 5th and 8th grades  \nDistricts also give tests in other subjects, such as social studies and physical education. About half of districts give health, arts, and physical educations tests in elementary schools. These tests are typically one to two hours each. About 60 percent of districts have a required social studies assessment. The median time for this test is three hours and twenty minutes.  \nTests noted as \"other\" in the survey are more di","cbCainSXfFqblDjK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainSXfFqblDjK","pdf",504068,15,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n# Testing Inventory Summary\n# Conclusion and Next Steps\n# Appendices\n## Appendix A: Types of Online Practice\n## Appendix B: Smarter Balanced Estimated Test Times\n## Appendix C: Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) Estimated Test Times\n## Appendix D: End-of-Course (EOC) Estimated Test Times\n## Appendix E: Specific District Required Survey Questions\n# List of Tables\n## Table 1: Summary of Median Testing Times for State Required Tests\n## Table 2: Elementary School Required Tests\n## Table 3: Middle School Required Tests\n## Table 4: High School Required Tests\n## Table 5: Elementary School Commonly Required District Tests\n## Table 6: Middle School Commonly Required District Tests\n## Table 7: High School Commonly Required District Tests\n## Table 8: Specific District Required Tests","[{\"question\":\"What prompted the OSPI assessment time inventory in 2016?\",\"answer\":\"The 2016 Washington Legislature asked OSPI to determine how much time students spent taking tests, covering both state-required and district-required assessments.\"},{\"question\":\"What information did districts report in the 2015–16 inventory?\",\"answer\":\"Districts reported average testing times for each assessment by grade band, including scheduled time and “actual” time that included setup, materials, directions, online login, test taking, and materials return.\"},{\"question\":\"Which state assessments were included as state-required tests?\",\"answer\":\"The inventory lists Smarter Balanced ELA and math for grades 3–8 and 11, Science MSP for grades 5 and 8, Biology EOC for grades 9–10, Math Year 1 and 2 EOC for grades 10–11 if needed, a second grade reading screener, and online training tests completed before online testing.\"}]","REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE - Assessment Inventory - December 2016 | PDF",38]
