SED has posted information regarding the posting of PDF files of exemplars with associated audio files for scorer training for the grades 3 - 8 ELA and math tests.

The files will be posted on the CTB/McGraw-Hill web site at the same time the questions and answers for scoring are posted, at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of each test administration makeup period. The PDF files and audio files are being provided instead of the scoring DVDs that were used in previous years.

The files can be downloaded and viewed or saved for future viewing. The audio files will be provided in different formats so they can be played through Windows Media Player, MP3 Players, MACs or iPods. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the PDF files.
