I. Document Purpose and Structure
 Document Purpose and Structure
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to share with educators and the public information regarding the March 2023
MCAS English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics retests, including the reporting category and standard
associated with each item. The Department does not currently release items from the March retests. All items
continue to be released for the spring grade 10 tests.

Structure
Chapters II and III of this document contain, respectively, information for the March 2023 ELA and
Mathematics retests. Each of these chapters has two sections.

The first section provides a brief overview of the retest, including test format and item types. The
Mathematics Reference Sheet used by students during MCAS Mathematics test sessions appears at the end of
the first section of the Mathematics chapter.

The second section of each chapter are tables that cross-reference each item on the computer-based test and
the paper-based test with its MCAS reporting category and with the Framework standard it assesses. The
tables show how the items on the test assess standards in the 2017 frameworks.

II. English Language Arts Retest
 English Language Arts Retest
The March 2023 next-generation English Language Arts retest was administered in two primary formats: a
computer-based version and a paper-based version. Most students took the computer-based test. The paper-based test
was offered as an accommodation for eligible students who were unable to use a computer. More information can be
found on the MCAS Test Administration Resources page at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html.

The tables at the end of this chapter provide information about each item from both the computer-based and paper-
based tests, including reporting category, standard(s) covered, item type, and item description.

A Note about Testing Mode

Most of the operational items on the computer-based and paper-based versions of the next-generation ELA retest
were the same. In places where a technology-enhanced item was used on the computer-based test, an adapted version
of the item was created for use on the paper test. These adapted paper items were multiple-choice or multiple-select
items that tested the same ELA content and assessed the same standard as the technology-enhanced item.

Test Sessions and Content Overview

The next-generation ELA retest was made up of two separate test sessions. Each session included reading passages,
followed by selected-response and essay questions. On the paper-based test, the selected-response questions were
multiple-choice items and multiple-select items, in which students select the correct answer(s) from among several
answer options.

Standards and Reporting Categories

The next-generation ELA retest was based on grades 6–12 learning standards in three content strands of the
Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for English Language Arts and Literacy (2017), listed below.

• Reading
• Writing
• Language

The Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for English Language Arts and Literacy is available on the Department
website at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html.

ELA test results are reported under three MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the three framework
content strands listed above.

Reference Materials
During both ELA test sessions, the use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former
English learner students only. No other reference materials were allowed during any ELA test session.

III. Mathematics Retest
 Mathematics Retest
The March 2023 next-generation Mathematics retest was administered in two primary formats: a computer-based
version and a paper-based version. Most students took the computer-based test. The paper-based test was offered as
an accommodation for eligible students who were unable to use a computer. More information can be found on the
MCAS Test Administration Resources page at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html.

The tables at the end of this chapter provide information about each item from both the computer-based and paper-
based tests, including reporting category, standard covered, item type, and item description.

A Note about Testing Mode

Most of the operational items on the computer-based and paper-based versions of the next-generation Mathematics
retest were the same. In places where a technology-enhanced item was used on the computer-based test, an adapted
version of the item was created for use on the paper test. These adapted paper items were multiple-choice, multiple-
select, or short-answer items that tested the same Mathematics content and assessed the same standard as the
technology-enhanced item.

Test Sessions and Content Overview

The Mathematics retest was made up of two separate test sessions. Each session included selected-response, short-
answer, and constructed-response questions. On the paper-based test, the selected-response questions were multiple-
choice items and multiple-select items, in which students select the correct answer(s) from among several answer
options.

Standards and Reporting Categories

The Mathematics retest was based on high school standards in the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for
Mathematics (2017). The standards in the 2017 framework are organized under the five major conceptual categories
listed below.

• Number and Quantity

• Algebra
• Functions
• Geometry
• Statistics and Probability

The Mathematics retest assessed standards that overlap between the Model Algebra I/Model Geometry and Model
Mathematics I/Model Mathematics II courses. The Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics is
available on the Department website at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html.

Mathematics test results for grade 10 are reported under four MCAS reporting categories, which are based on the five
framework conceptual categories listed above.

10
Spanish-Language Edition
Since approximately 55% of English learner students in Massachusetts public schools are native Spanish speakers,
a Spanish-language edition of the Mathematics retest was made available to eligible Spanish-speaking students. The
computer-based version of the Spanish-language edition presented the Spanish translation above the English text
for each item. The booklets for the paper-based version of the Spanish-language edition were issued in side-by-side
English/Spanish format: pages on the left side of each booklet presented items in Spanish; pages on the right side
presented the same items in English.

Reference Materials and Tools

Each student taking the Mathematics retest was provided with a grade 10 Mathematics Reference Sheet. A copy of
the reference sheet can be found on the next page of this document.

During Session 2, each student had sole access to a calculator. Calculator use was not allowed during Session 1.

During both Mathematics test sessions, the use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and
former English learner students only. No other reference tools or materials were allowed.
