LIFORNI STNRS TEST lgebra I Introduction - lgebra I The following released test questions are taken from the lgebra I Standards Test. This test is one of the alifornia Standards Tests administered as part of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STR) Program under policies set b the State oard of Education. ll questions on the alifornia Standards Tests are evaluated b committees of content eperts, including teachers and administrators, to ensure their appropriateness for measuring the alifornia academic content standards in lgebra I. In addition to content, all items are reviewed and approved to ensure their adherence to the principles of fairness and to ensure no bias eists with respect to characteristics such as gender, ethnicit, and language. This document contains released test questions from the alifornia Standards Test forms in 00, 00, 00, 00, and 00. First on the pages that follow are lists of the standards assessed on the lgebra I Test. Net are released test questions. Following the questions is a table that gives the correct answer for each question, the content standard that each question is measuring, and the ear each question last appeared on the test. The following table lists each reporting cluster, the number of items that appear on the eam, and the number of released test questions that appear in this document. Some of the released test questions for lgebra I are the same test questions found in different combinations on the Integrated Mathematics and alifornia Standards Tests and the Summative High School Mathematics alifornia Standards Test.
