Smarter Balanced Testing
The Smarter Balanced assessment system provides educators, students and parents meaningful results with actionable data to help students succeed. The assessment is aligned to Common Core State Standards and consists of three major components, all designed to improve teaching and learning.
The Smarter Balanced Summative assessments are required. They will take place during the last 12 weeks of the school year. These computer-based tests will help schools evaluate how well their students performed by comparing them with students from other schools across the nation. The end-of-year assessments also will empower families by providing them with a clear indication of how well their children are progressing toward mastering the academic knowledge and skills necessary for college and career readiness.
Smarter Balanced assessments replaced the math, reading and writing portions of the MSP students in grades 3-8. The science portion of the MSP (tested in grades 5 and 8) remained the same. 11th graders will take the high school level of the new Smarter Balanced tests, but meeting standard on the tests is not a graduation requirement until the Class of 2019. Students will not take the new Smarter Balanced tests in grades K-2, 9, or 12. 10th graders will only take the English Language Arts Smarter Balanced test.

Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen who took the PSAT/NMSQT in October can access their scores through their online College Board account starting December 12.
View this video for details on how to access scores.
- Students who included an email address on their answer sheet will be emailed their access code from the College Board.
- If a student does not have a College Board account, they can sign up for one at any time.**
- Students who do not receive an emailed access code can still go to their College Board account, click to get their scores, and provide information to find their scores.
If students are having trouble accessing their released scores:
- They may need to update their account information. Students can log in to the student score portal and follow the instructions to verify their account.
- Students can learn how to use their PSAT/NMSQT access code to verify their account by logging in to the student score portal.

**Students should sign up for their own account (with their corresponding email address) that they will continue to access throughout their high school career.
