Rather than being comprised conclusively of multiple choice items, the assessments will combine multiple choice items with open-ended "constructed-response” items and performance tasks require students to analyze and synthesize information to solve complex problems. The test will be administered in grades three, four, eight, ten and twelve. The grade 10 assessment is an exit exam and students mnust pass this test in order to receive a diploma. Students failing to pass the test will receive remediation and opportunities to retake the test. c.
