1 PSSA English Arts Test Design The PSSA English Arts test plan shown in the following table is organized by grade and broken down between Multiple Choice (MC), Evidence Based Selected Response (EBSR), Short Answer (SA) [G3 only], Prompts (WP), and Dependent Analysis (TDA) [G4 8 only]. items are also distinguished from items that serve the role of psychometric use and field test (FT). The following tables summarize the ELA test design. Standard Operational ELA High Level Test Plan per Form from 2015 Onward Grade Passage Based Multiple Choice (MC) Selected Response Stand Alone MC Evidence Based Selected Response (EBSR) Embedded FT Passage Based Short Answer (SA) Constructed Response Prompt (WP) Dependent Analysis (TDA) Total Items Total Points (Raw) Total Points (Weighted) Psychometric Embedded Psychometric Embedded ** Embedded Use* FT Use* FT ** FT SR CR * Psychometric Use is generally for equating purposes. Not all equating items will be unique on all forms. [Passage based is estimated as 3 total passages for 18 unique MC items across all forms.] **Weighted (G3: WP x 2; G4 8: WP x 3, TDA x 4) July 2014 Page 1 of 7
2 English Arts PSSA Test Content Blueprints The content blueprints for the PCS based ELA assessment (beginning with the 2015 PSSA administration) are shown in the following tables. The blueprints are organized around three Clusters (Reading,, and TDA) based on the expressed emphasis contained within the PCS. As stated in the released PDE Assessment Anchor and Eligible Content documents, the Categories are as follows: A = Literature B = Informational C = D = E = Dependent Analysis In addition to the above, the first two Categories (Literature and Informational ) are understood to be the Genre Categories. The Genre Categories A and B for ELA will be mapped as part of a dual alignment into Competencies Categories. There are three themes prevalent throughout the PCS ELA Standards, and these themes appear in both Literature and Informational that will appear on the PCS based PSSA ELA test. The following table shows how the results of specific PCS based Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content will be mapped to provide for a second layer of reporting. These three additional (dual) Categories are as follows: A K/B K: Key Ideas and Details [Key Ideas] A C/B C: Craft and Structure, and Integration of Knowledge and Ideas [CSI] A V/B V: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use [Vocabulary] July 2014 Page 2 of 7
