Q: Is there a braille hybrid adaptive test (HAT) for the adjusted version of the year-end state test?
A: For 2020-2021 testing, Smarter Balanced continues to offer the Braille Hybrid Adaptive Test (HAT) for the full form year-end state mathematics assessment. Because of the design functionality of the Braille HAT, an adjusted Braille HAT is not recommended. Students who read braille can still benefit from the full form year-end mathematics test, the adjusted form year-end mathematics test, or the paper version of the year-end mathematics test. Please consult your state, territory, or bureau assessment portal well as test administrators for availability of these resources in your location.
