Q: Will students only receive questions appropriate to the grade/subject in which they are testing?
A: Students may receive “out-of-level” questions in their SAGE test. These “vertical linking” questions are control items which will be analyzed by the test developer to align tests vertically. Students will not likely recognize that these questions are “out-of-level.” Students will not be scored on these questions. Teachers and schools are not accountable for “vertical linking” questions.
