is estimated to average 100 minutes for students participating the Oral Reading Fluency Study and 90
minutes for all other subjects, including the time to review instructions and complete and review the
information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate,
suggestions for improving this collection, or any comments or concerns regarding the status of your
individual submission, please write to: National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th St., SW, 4th floor, Washington,
DC 20202.

Volume 2-G: Pilot Grade 4 Science
In the pilot assessments, not all questions presented in the questionnaire will be administered to an
individual student. Rather, students will receive a subset of the questions, as indicated in the spiral map
presented after the questionnaire.
Note that pilot items are labeled as 2019 pilot which indicates that they will be piloted in 2018 for
operational use in 2019.

Volume 2-I: Pilot Grade 12 Science
In the pilot assessments, not all questions presented in the questionnaire will be administered to an
individual student. Rather, students will receive a subset of the questions, as indicated in the spiral map
presented after the questionnaire.
Note that pilot items are labeled as 2019 pilot which indicates that they will be piloted in 2018 for
operational use in 2019.
