Practice Testing, Field Testing, Post-Testing Available 10/2/17

Beginning 10/2/17, WebXam will post all available tests. Teachers and administrators should reference the Assessment Matrix on ODE's website for guidance on which tests are available for your courses.

Pathway-based practice tests contain 20 items and are designed to provide students and teachers an opportunity to experience taking a WebXam test to become familiar with the item types and the testing system. Results are not used for reporting purposes.
Field tests contain 80-100 items, and their purpose is to collect data on newly developed tests.
Posttests contain 40-items and are finalized test forms required to be delivered after course instruction is complete. Posttests results are reported to EMIS by local districts.

CTE Assessment Matrix

Details include how many questions are in the test, whether the test is in field testing, what the cutoff score is, whether pretests are available, and what the rules are for passing the pathway test.
