Navigation: State/Province – TX, Student Assessment Pre-Code, STAAR/STAAR Alt2 (Grades 3-8)

Registration File Elements
- New to Texas: There is a single field that appears on each of the assessment tabs. This field applies to the student for all assessments. If selected on one tab, it appears selected on the two other tabs.
- STAAR Alternate 2: There is a single field that applies to all STAAR 3-8 subjects.
- Above Grade: Each subject has a separate field for students testing above grade level.
- Interim Grade: Each subject also has a separate field to designate an alternate/additional grade level for the interim assessments. Once registered for STAAR 3-8, Cambium defaults students as eligible for interim assessments for their enrolled grade. If the student will test at a different grade level, select the appropriate value.
Attributes File Elements
- The attributes (accommodations) available for each subject are listed in the Attributes column.
- Most attributes apply to all subjects, but some such as Calculator apply only to Math and Science.
- Presentation attribute: Select a value only if the default of English does not apply. Braille is not available for Math or Science. Spanish is not available for Social Studies; currently the dropdown list incorrectly shows Spanish as available and this will be updated in the next release.
Additional Student Fields File Elements
- Test Mode: Select a value of (P) Paper only if the default of (O) Online does not apply.
  - TEA does not allow paper testing for students who are not 504or SPED.
  - This applies to all tests including TELPAS
- Paper Test Format: For paper testers, select a format only if the default of (RP) Regular Print does not apply. Note that Spanish for paper testers is only available for grades 3-5 for Math and Reading and grade 5 for Science.
- STAAR Non-Embedded Supports: Available for all subjects.
- Extra Day: Available for all subjects.

Data Entry Validations
- Test Mode (P) Paper - 504 or SPED: If the student is not a current 504 or SPED participant based on special program records, validation prevents the selection of Paper Test Mode.
- Test Mode and Paper Test Format fields
  - If (P) Paper (STAAR and EOC) or (P) Paper and Holistic (TELPAS) is selected for Test Mode, Paper Test Format is automatically set to a default value of (RP) Regular Print. Select a different code if appropriate from the dropdown list.
  - If Test Mode is set to Select Code or (O) Online, Paper Test Format is automatically set to blank (Select Code).
