California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Fee-based Services
2022–23 Fee-based Services
Rescoring Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST)
The online Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (administered in two content areas—English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics) and the CAST include machine‐scored and hand‐scored test questions. A local educational agency (LEA) may ask to have the hand-scored responses on a student's test rescored by contacting the assigned LEA Success Agent 
and making the request. The LEA must provide the following required data for the student—Statewide Student Identifier, school name and code, and LEA information—and content area(s) to be rescored. A purchase order must be provided at the time of the request. All requests to rescore a student response must be made by the last business day in August of the testing year.
Note that a request for rescoring computer-based assessments may be made for the hand-scored responses only.
