A:
The interim assessments are one component of
the Smarter Balanced assessment system and
are designed to support teaching and student
learning throughout the year and provide
information to inform instruction. The items are
developed under the same conditions,
protocols, and review procedures as those used
in the summative assessments.

A:
Most responses are machine scored. All open-
ended responses are hand scored by a TA
through the interim assessment hand scoring
module. The machine-scored results are held
until the open-ended portions of the test have
been hand scored and submitted. The results
are then combined to generate a student report.

Overview Q: How can I administer an interim assessment? A: Interim tests are administered in the same way as summative tests.

The results are then combined to generate a student report. 2015 Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments: Part II 12
