X State has a test. A blank denotes that the state does not have this type of test. | |||||||
1 Off-the-shelf/norm-referenced tests (NRTs) are commercially developed tests that have not been modified to reflect state content standards. | |||||||
2 Criterion-referenced tests (CRTs) are custom-developed and explicitly designed to measure state content standards. | |||||||
3 Augmented or hybrid tests incorporate elements of both NRTs and CRTs. These tests include NRTs that have been augmented or modified to reflect state standards. | |||||||
NOTE: ES = elementary school, MS = middle school, and HS = high school. | |||||||
