Smarter Balanced Interim Assessment Blocks of Items and hand scoring Requirements by Grade and Subject. The following tables are intended to assist coordinators, site coordinators, and test administrators in planning for the administration and local hand scoring of the Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs). Each table provides key information, including the total number of items on each IAB. The total number of items includes both machine-scored and hand-scored items for each content area English language arts (ELA) and mathematics (Math). Also provided in each table is the number of short answer and full write responses on each IAB that require local hand scoring for each grade.
