What is the policy for students who fail to answer the minimum number of questions to determine a valid test score?
Students who fail to answer the minimum number of questions on a standard test administration will not be included in the student performance ratings and will be included in participation as “Did not Participate in Statewide Assessments”. This would include students who attempted an Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) Online (previously known as Technology Enhanced Student Assessments or TESA) test and answered fewer than 5 questions or a paper and pencil test and answered fewer than 10 questions or a writing test and presented a response that could not be scored.
