TEST BLUEPRINT
There are two types of interim assessments:
1. Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs) are built on the same blueprints as the summative assessments. The ICAs include the same item types and formats, including performance tasks, as the summative assessments, and yield results on the same vertical scale. The ICAs yield overall scale scores, overall performance level designations, and claim-level information.

2. Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) focus on the smaller sets of targets and therefore provide more detailed information for instructional purposes. The IABs yield overall information for each block. A flyer listing all IABs available by grade (PDF) shows the blocks available for grade level English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics.

3 -Interim Assessment (Scores)
FACTS:
- If there are ANY hand score items on the Interim Assessment you have given, you MUST score them before they will appear in the Reporting System.
- For ICAs, hand scoring for both the performance task and the computer based test must be completed and submitted in order to produce results in the IA Reporting System.
- Why IAB's over ICA's? -IAB's are shorter in length. ICA's require Performance Task be handscored to produce results in IA Reporting System, IAB's do not.
