About the Summative Assessment
The KAP summative assessment is typically given statewide and used for accountability purposes. Summative assessments are conducted over six weeks each spring, with a two-week testing window for remote students. It is the largest grain size of all assessments, covering all content standards for a grade and subject. It includes targets of performance, usually called performance or achievement levels. These tests are longer as they require sufficient items for reliability. Question types include selected-response items such as multiple-choice or multi-select or open-ended.
