STAAR Grades 4 and 7 Writing Answer Document Issues
APRIL 2019 STAAR ADMINISTRATIONS
The April 2019 STAAR Grade 4 English Writing Test Booklet will NOT include a form number. For students taking the STAAR grade 4 English writing test during the April 2019 administration, districts should grid “01” in the FORM # field on the grade 4 writing answer document.
For students taking the STAAR grade 4 Spanish writing test, districts should grid the appropriate test form number (as indicated on the April 2019 STAAR Grade 4 Spanish Writing Test Booklet) in the FORM # field on the STAAR grade 4 writing answer document.
The April 2019 STAAR Grade 7 Writing Test Booklet will NOT include a form number, and there is NOT a FORM # field on the answer document. In addition, the grade 7 answer document has more spaces for answer choices on the answer document than there are questions in the test booklet. Test administrators may tell students that they will not use all of the spaces for answer choices. There are 36 spaces on the answer document and only 30 multiple-choice questions in the test booklet. Students may cross out the last six spaces on the answer document.
The deadline to submit ADPLs for the April administrations is 11:59 p.m. (CT) on the same date that scorable materials must be returned.
