7. California Alternate Performance Assessment
(CAPA) for Science
8. Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) for Reading/
Language Arts (RLA)
An individual student could have up to four records. For
example, a grade five student has three records: for the
Smarter Balanced for ELA, Smarter Balanced for
Mathematics, and CST for Science (Grade 5); if the
student also took the STS for RLA, he or she would have
four records. The Smarter Balanced records include data
for the computer adaptive test (CAT) (referred to as
“non–performance task [non-PT]” in the student data file
layout) and the performance task (PT) sections of the test.
CAAs for ELA and mathematics
The student data files will contain CAA test registrations,
results and score data in the fall 2016.
Condition Code field
Special condition codes are noted in a single field (instead
of one field per code). See the Condition Codes reference
table that starts on page 39 for a list of codes.
Historical scores for Smarter Balanced
for ELA and mathematics
Several score fields from 2014–15 will be available:
 Smarter Standard Error of Measurement -SEM
Current Year minus 1 (field 157)
 Scale Scores Current Year minus 1 (field 158)
 Condition Code Current Year minus 1 (field 159)—
Some condition codes may not persist from year to
year. Refer to the prior-year student data layout for a
list of applicable codes.
Alignment of test setting names
The values for online test settings have been changed to
align with the Individual Student Assessment Accessibility
Profile Tool and the test settings file upload templates
currently used by LEAs.

Student Demographics
Student demographic data are derived from the California Longitudinal Achievement Data System
(CALPADS) and reflect student demographics as captured in the demographic snapshot in TOMS,
which is taken on the last day of the LEA selected testing window. Note that the source for each field
is indicated in the file layout.
Data sources for the student data file are as follows:
 CALPADS—Extracted from CALPADS
 Derived—Created during generation of the student data file
 Scoring—Created as a result of scoring
 Test delivery system—Extracted during processing of submitted online and paper-pencil assessments
 Test Operations Management System (TOMS)—Extracted from TOMS
 School and Grade Identification (SGID) Sheet—Extracted during processing of the SGID that
accompanied PPTs for scoring
Score Data
Score data include the overall scale scores and achievement/performance levels for all assessments. Raw
scores are only provided for the science and STS assessments. Also included are the claim performance
levels for the Smarter Balanced assessments (scale scores are not reported by Smarter Balanced for claims).
The standard errors of measurement (SEMs) of the Smarter Balanced scale scores are provided as well as
the lower and upper bounds of the error band representing +/- one SEM.
Test Administration Data
Test administration data include flags and condition codes describing specific elements of test
administration. These include flags for attemptedness/completion status, special testing conditions
(cheating, parent opt out, etc.), and indicators of the embedded or non-embedded supports to which
students were given access during the assessments.
Accountability Results and Participation Rate
The California Department of Education (CDE) calculates and reports the federal accountability results,
which include the participation rate. For additional information on how the participation rate is calculated
for the 2016 Adequate Yearly Progress and accountability progress reporting, visit the CDE Adequate
Yearly Progress Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.

Fields of Note
The following fields are of particular importance:
Field #
1

43–54
Section
Record Type
Additional Explanation
Each record in the file will have a Record Type in Field 1 that
identifies the test title. There are eight possible record types:
1. Smarter Balanced for ELA
2. Smarter Balanced for Mathematics
3. CAA for ELA
4. CAA for Mathematics
5. CST for Science
6. CMA for Science
7. CAPA for Science
8. STS for RLA
An individual student could have up to four records. For
example a grade five student has three records: for Smarter
Balanced for ELA, Smarter Balanced for Mathematics, and
CST for Science (Grade 5); if the student also took the STS
for RLA, he or she would have four records. The Smarter
Balanced records include data for the non-PT and PT sections
of the test.
UIN (Unique Identification Number) Because a student who takes Smarter Balanced Summative
Assessments and/or a science test might also take the STS, the
UIN, which is unique for every record in the file, may be used
to join the records together so that all student information can
be matched.
Smarter Student ID
This is the code used in conjunction with the student’s
Statewide Student Identifier (SSID) to log on to the Smarter
Balanced Online Summative Assessments.
Test Details—Testing Location
1. LEA and school information are provided multiple times in
the data file because students may be associated with more
than one school if they started one of the Smarter Balanced
Summative Assessments (in the content areas of ELA or
mathematics; and/or the PT or non-PT sections) or
CAASPP PPTs in one location and completed it in another.
2. County/District and School codes are populated with the
school where the student tested if the student took the test.
Otherwise, these codes reflect the school where the student
is registered.

Additional Explanation
3. Blank County/District and School code fields indicate that
the student did not complete a test part.
4. A separate school also can be associated with the PPTs in
science or the STS.
Test date and window fields are either:
 blank, if the student did not test;
 populated with test dates, if the student completed an
online test; or
 populated with the expired date, if the student did not
complete an online test.
A special condition code indicates the presence of a particular
circumstance during testing. See the Condition Codes
reference table that starts on page 39 for a list of codes
included in this field. Only one condition code can be applied
per record type.
This flag designates students as either noncompletion
(nonparticipant), partial-completion (participant), or
completion (attempted). See the Attemptedness/Completion
Status Codes (Field 63) reference table on page 41 for
definitions of the statuses. Attemptedness/Completion is not
applicable to the CAPA.
Include Indicators, when set, indicate how a result for an
assessment will be treated for reporting number tested and
aggregate data including performance/achievement level
proportions and scale score averages, and codify why a
student’s score may not be reported. Include Indicators also
show whether or not a student has taken required tests. See
the Include Indicators for Aggregate Reporting reference table
on page 41 for more information.
A random variation in individual scores that is quantified
through the use of a statistic of measurement precision is
called the conditional standard error of measurement (CSEM).
CSEMs are shown in bands or ranges. The maximum and
minimum scale scores for +/- one CSEM are also provided.
Note that the CSEM included with student test data is
presented as a two-digit number followed by two blank spaces.
This number has been rounded up from a decimal to a whole
number.
