The New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge September 2012 Score Interpretation Manual Grades 3 to 8 which is applicable to all the parents students and private tutors at all three Math Genie abacus math for kids schools in New Jersey in the United States of America, continues on to state the following, quote “Science. The Science test measures fourth and eighth-grade students’ ability to recall information and to solve problems by applying science concepts. The Science test assesses knowledge and application skills in three clusters; each cluster contains multiple-choice items and constructed response items. The CCCS numbers corresponding to the three clusters are indicated in parentheses. Life Science (5.5, 5.10). Matter, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems. Diversity and Biological Evolution. Reproduction and Heredity. Natural Systems and Interactions. Human Interactions and Impact. Physical Science (5.6, 5.7). Structure and Properties of Matter. Chemical Reactions. Motion and Forces. Energy Transformations. Earth Science (5.8, 5.9). Earth’s Properties and Materials. Atmosphere and Weather. Processes that Shape the Earth. How We Study the Earth. Earth, Moon, Sun System. Solar System. Stars. Galaxies and Universe. Science items are also classified and reported as either. Knowledge (Comprehension and Science, Society/Technology), or Application (Habits of Mind/Inquiry and Mathematics). Table 4c: Total Points Possible on NJ ASK 3–8, by Content Area Cluster and Grade. Science Grade 3 4 5 6 7 8. Cluster. Part II information for school administrators. One of the primary purposes of the NJ ASK is to identify areas of curricular strength and weakness by examining the extent to which students meet the established performance expectations for each content area. Based on test results, a student’s performance is categorized as being Partially Proficient, Proficient, or Advanced Proficient. Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) translate these performance standards into words. They describe in qualitative and broad terms what it means to attain the levels, Proficient and Advanced Proficient, in each content area. The PLDs are stated in terms of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJ CCCS) for Language Arts Literacy, Mathematics, and Science. The PLDs and their relationship to specific scale scores are established through a standard setting process that is driven primarily by the work of New Jersey educators. In the standard setting year of a test (typically the first year), standard setting committees are put together consisting of New Jersey teachers nominated by their districts. The committees meet for several days in structured sessions facilitated by the test contractor, in conjunction with NJ DOE” end quote.
