Wisconsin Forward Spring State Assessment
The Wisconsin Forward Exam will be given in schools between March 23 and May 1, 2020. The Forward Exam is a state mandated summative assessment which provides information about what students know and can do in relation to the Wisconsin Academic Standards. Students receive a score based on their performance in each content area.There are sample or practice test questions available for students. An Online Tools Training (OTT) is available for students at https://dpi.wi.gov/assessment/forward/sample-items . The OTT is intended to give students the opportunity to practice with tools available on the Forward Exam, as well as allow them to familiarize themselves with the testing platform. The OTT is not scored, nor is it intended to provide practice on the test content. Students will be exploring these tools and training at school prior to testing.
The Forward Exam will be administered online and be given to:
- Grades 3-8 in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics,
- Grades 4 and 8 in Science and,
- Grades 4, 8, and 10 in Social Studies
The Forward Exam includes several question types:
- Multiple-Choice (MC): Question that has four answer choices, including three distractors and one correct answer.
- Enhanced Selected Response (ESR): Question which may contain combinations of MC, short-answer, and technology-enhanced.
- Evidence-Based Selected Response (ESBR): Question which has two parts. The student answers Part A, then provides evidence in Part B to support answer in Part A.
- Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA): Question used on the ELA test. The TDA is a text-based analysis, based on a passage that is read by the student during the assessment. Students must draw on basic writing skills while inferring and synthesizing information from the passage in order to develop a comprehensive, holistic essay response. Students have up to 5000 characters to formulate their response.
- Technology-Enhanced (TE): TE questions allow for a more engaging, interactive assessment.
Accommodations and supports for students with disabilities and/or English language learners are built into the system so that the progress of students can be accurately measured.
The estimated time for the test administration in each grade is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes for ELA, 1 hour and 45 minutes for Mathematics, 1 hour and 40 minutes for Science, and 1 hour and 30 minutes for Social Studies. These are estimated times, as the WI Forward Exam is not a timed test so students work at their own pace.
If you have any questions or concerns about the new assessment, please contact the office.
