For short- and extended-response questions, students will write answers to open-ended questions. The extended responses are scored for writing as well as for reading comprehension.

15 Scoring For 2012, writing mechanics has been added to the rubric for scoring extended responses. Scores for the extended responses are based on evidence of the following qualities in addition to meaning and development: Organization —the extent to which the response exhibits direction, shape, and coherence Language Use- he extent to which the response exhibits clear and effective use of vocabulary and sentence structure. Writing Mechanics- the extent to which the response exhibits correct spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. Each short-response and extended-response question on the test is scored according to a rubric. Each short response is scored for meaning and development only. Each extended response is scored for organization, language use, and writing mechanics, in addition to meaning and development
