This year, students in Grades 3-8 and Grade 10 will take part in the Next Generation MCAS, or MCAS 2.0. This is an online test administered in English and Math. Tests are aligned with the MA English Language Arts and Math Frameworks, which were both revised in 2017.
The Science MCAS will remain the legacy tests. These are a pencil and paper administration. The tests are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards adopted by MA in 2016.
