Are there different answer documents for the CSTs and the CMA?
It depends on the grade; the guidelines are as follows: • Grade three At least one test booklet (either a CST test booklet or a CMA test booklet) must be returned for each student in grade three. If a student took one CST and one CMA content-area test, Section 7c, “Assessed with CMA,” must be marked on the front cover of the CST test booklet for the CMA content-area test taken. • Grades four through seven Separate content-area sections for the CST and CMA tests are on the answer documents for grades four through seven. Students who take one or more CMA tests must mark Section 7c, “Assessed with CMA,” on the front cover of the CST/CMA answer document for each CMA content-area test taken. • Grades eight through eleven Separate CST and CMA answer documents are used for grades eight through eleven. However, all students must return a CST answer document even if they took a CMA. School staff must mark section 7c, “Assessed with CMA,” on the front cover of the student’s CST answer document f
