Important Alternate Kentucky Summative Assessment (AKSA) Update
The Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) has been made aware of an issue identified with Grade 8 Reading AKSA. For all students completing the Grade 8 Reading AKSA, please enter “C” as the correct response for Grade 8 Reading, Task A, number 3.
During test administration, after reading the passage, students should skip Reading question 3 and complete all other questions associated with the passage. Question 3 will not impact the student's score. For questions please email Jaci Norman at UK or call (859) 218-0254.
Reminder: AKSA Window 1 Administration to Begin Nov. 13
Test administration for Window 1 will begin on Nov. 13 and close on Dec. 15. All scores MUST be entered into the Student Registration Database (SRD) by Dec. 22.
The AKSA test administrator must pass the qualification quiz prior to administering the AT and a copy of the quiz certificate must be given to the District Assessment Coordinator (DAC). Although the AKSA Overview and Attainment Tasks (AT) Combined Training closed on Nov. 10, DACs must contact KDE if test administrators need to be trained. Test administrators will receive testing materials from the DAC to administer the AT.
For questions, please email Krista Mullins or call (502) 564-4394 ext. 4759.
