The CAA for Science is administered to all eligible students in grades five and eight and one time in high school in grades ten, eleven, or twelve. It is delivered one-on-one by a trained CAA test examiner familiar to the student.
The CAA for Science is administered as four separate embedded performance tasks (PTs) that are integrated into each student's instruction. Review the Organization of the California Assessment for Science (PDF) flyer to understand more about the four embedded PTs. Embedded PTs are available for administration at any time, in any order, between September and the end of the instruction or July 15, whichever comes first.
