AACS Achievement Testing Program Update for 2017-2018

  • Please note the following important dates for the achievement testing program:
November 1, 2017—Last day to order materials without incurring a 3% late fee

  • Supplemental Content Classification Guides are posted on the AACS website. This is a great new resource that Iowa developed at our request. The guides provide relevant core content standards for levels 5–14 (Grades K5 through 8th) in the areas of math and language arts.
  • Updated order forms are posted on the AACS website. Use the Test Materials Order Form—2017–18 School Year to order test materials, and use the Scoring Services Order Form—Spring 2018 to order scoring services when answer documents are sent back to the AACS for scanning.
  • The AACS Achievement Testing Program Guide—Spring 2018 has been updated and placed on the AACS website. Each school should download a copy of this guide for staff reference.
  • Iowa Assessments™ Individual and Group Performance Profile reports are now available digitally in “Scoring Service Print Style” format directly from the DataManager Report Center. These long-popular reports display test scores by skill domain and cognitive level using convenient graphs and narrative text for ease of interpretation. Skill domain achievement reports such as the performance profiles enable educators to identify strengths and weaknesses, inform instruction, and monitor growth. These reports are also included in the Iowa Report Package B on the Scoring Services Order Form—Spring 2018.
