Beginning in the Spring of 2015, SBAC began assessing students with their new assessment format. The assessments are given in grades 3–8 and 10 (11 in California), in the content areas of Math and English Language Arts. Each test called a Summative Assessment, consists of a Performance Task (PT) and a Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT). ==See also==
