2007 MCAS Sample Student Work
and Scoring Guides
Below you will find each open-response question and each writing prompt that was included on the spring 2007 MCAS tests, the scoring guide that accompanies it, and a sample of student work at each score point for that question. Student work samples in English Language Arts Composition and Reading Comprehension include annotations at all grade levels and score points.
Taken together, the questions, the writing prompts, the scoring guides, and the corresponding student work provide a picture of the expectations for student performance on the MCAS tests.
New this year, two different samples of student work have been included at the highest score point for all grades and subjects with the exception of ELA Composition Standard English Conventions, grades 5 and 7 History and Social Science, high school U.S. History, and high school Technology/Engineering item 11.
All the test questions on which this year's student results are based are contained in the Release of Spring 2007 MCAS Test Items document.
