8th GRADE MEAP RELEASED ITEMS (Correlated to the 7th grade GLCE's)

OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES:

•Review, practice, and secure concepts.

•Breakdown the barriers of vocabulary and format.

•Analyze data from the District and State.

GLCE Designations

• Core - content currently taught at the assigned grade level.

• Extended Core - content currently taught at the assigned grade level that describes narrower or less dense topics.

• Future Core - not currently taught at assigned grade level (but will be with in the next 3-5 years).

GLCE Types and Scoring• Item Types – Count towards score

– Core - assess Core GLCE (3 questions per GLCE on MEAP test)

– Extended Core - assess Extended Core GLCE (Usually only 1 question on MEAP test)

– Linking - core items from previous grade test (grades 4-8 only)

• Item Types – Do NOT count towards score– Field Test - items used to develop future MEAP assessments

– Future Core - items that assess Future Core expectations
