Segment C
Reporting Level
Contributes to Student and Group Score
Contributes to Group Score
Scope and Depth of Measurement
Wide breadth—measures a broad sample of CA NGSS PEs
Deep measurement of targeted sample of 1-2 item sets (multiple CA NGSS SEPs and CCCs per item set, and one or more DCIs per item set as specified by task models)
Broad and deep-full range of measurement of PEs for each grade span
Type of Items
Selected-response, machine-scorable items. Items primarily independent but some organized in sets.
Item sets which require students to solve a series of complex problems set in discipline-specific contexts.
Will emulate item types presented in Segment A or B.
