Important Dates for Grades 3-8 Tests in 2006-07

 

Mathematics Tests

IMPORTANT NOTICE


This notice is to inform you of an adjustment to the schedule of Important Dates for the Mathematics Tests for Grades 6, 7, and 8.

In order to allow schools more time to prepare for the scoring of the open-ended questions on the Mathematics Tests for Grades 6, 7, and 8, the Department will ship the DVDs for scorer training and the printed scoring materials one day sooner than was previously announced. These materials will be shipped to arrive on Tuesday, March 20, or Wednesday, March 21. Please remember that the DVDs and printed scoring materials must be kept secure through the end of the make-up testing periods, which ends March 23. Scorer training and scoring may begin on Monday, March 26, 2007, but not prior to that date.
