New York State Computer-Based Testing 2018 Grades 3–8 Mathematics Stand-Alone Field Testing Survey on the Drawing Tool

NYS CBT 2018 Grades 3-8 Math SAFT Drawing Tool Survey

Input from educators is a vital part to the test development process, especially the ongoing development of the computer-based testing system. For the 2018 stand-alone field testing in mathematics, the Drawing Tool feature within the Equation Editor was a new enhancement within Questar Assessment Inc.’s computer-based assessment system. We would like to learn about your students’ experiences using the Drawing Tool. Your feedback on the Mathematics Computer-Based Field Testing program will help New York State to improve the assessment system for our students and educators.
