New MCA Released Items

 

43 new Math Items and Data Added to MCA Released Items

MDE added 43 released items to the released item web page. The items span grades 3 through 8 and 11, including a few DOK III items. All items include a data table and rationales for use in error analysis. All items on the MDE Released Item webpage were used operationally on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA-III). Please note that these items are different than the ones on the item sampler.

CAUTION: Released items should not be used as a predictor of success on the MCA. The items are only a sampling of the operational item bank and, therefore, do not match the test specifications for the MCA.

Before using the released items be sure to review the Released Item and Data Table User Guide.

The newly released items are mixed in with previously released items. The table shows a list of the newly-released items.
