California Standards Tests (CSTs)General InformationBackgroundThe CSTs are a major component of the STAR program. The CSTs are developed by California educators and test developers specifically for California. They measure students' progress toward achieving California's state-adopted academic content standards in English–language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and history–social science, which describe what students should know and be able to do in each grade and subject tested. Visit the STAR CST Blueprints page on the California Department of Education Web site to see the CST blueprints. Who Will Take the CSTs?Students in grades two through eleven take multiple-choice CSTs for various subjects. Students in grade seven complete a writing assessment—the CST for Writing—as a part of the CST for ELA. 2011 Test MaterialsDirections for Administration (DFAs)2011 materials forthcoming Sample Answer Documents2011 materials forthcoming Sample Test Question Transparency Blackline Masters2011 materials forthcoming |
