NAEP Technical DocumentationStudent Booklets for the 2011 Science Assessment

The 2011 NAEP science assessment was administered only at grade 8 using nine cognitive blocks from the 2009 assessment. One cognitive block at grade 8 was released from the NAEP 2011 science assessment and is available to the public via the NAEP Questions Tool. Released blocks of questions are not used in later assessments.

The table below displays the NAEP 2011 science assessment student booklet configuration for grade 8.
