CMAS Resources for Students and Educators

Student Resources

• Computer-based testing student practice resources provide students with an opportunity to become familiar with the format and functionality of questions that appear on the CMAS assessments. Resources include technology-enhanced items (TEls) which allow students to indicate their responses to assessment questions in a format other than multiple-choice. The resources are not intended to cover all content or TEl types included on operational assessments. Sample items also provide students the opportunity to use the tools available in TestNav 8, the online testing software used in Colorado.
• Paper-based testing student practice resources provide students with an opportunity to become familiar with the format of test items that appear in the paper-based test books.

Educator Resources

• Scoring Guides and Rubrics (for computer-based and paper-based practice resources)
• Sample Items (see CPRs and corresponding guides)
• Test Administrator Manuals
