If a student takes a content area test, such as mathematics, in both the CST and the CMA, will the student receive scores for both the CST for Mathematics and the CMA for Mathematics?
No. The student will receive a score for the CMA test only if the appropriate circle was marked in Section 7c, “Assessed with CMA,” on the first page of the CST/CMA or CST answer document and/or if the “Student will be assessed with CMA–Math” indicator was set in Pre-ID. If the “CMA for Math” circle was marked or the Pre-ID indicator was set, the student’s score for the CMA for Mathematics will be reported. If the “CMA for Math” circle was not marked and the Pre-ID indicator “Student will be assessed with CMA–Math” was not set, the student will receive a score for the CST for Mathematics taken. In the case of grade three, which uses a test booklet rather than an answer document, if the CMA test booklet was returned, the indicator in the Pre-ID file must also have been set for the student to receive a CMA score.
