EAP SECTION—Read to Students in Grade Eleven Only

SAY:

The Early Assessment Program (EAP) will assist the California State University (CSU) system in providing you information on your readiness for college-level written communication and mathematics/quantitative reasoning prior to starting your senior year. The results are used to determine a student’s placement in appropriate coursework once you have been admitted. The release of CAASPP results will not affect a student’s application for admission.

Please carefully read the statement presented on the front cover of your answer booklet. If you do not wish your results to be sent to the CSU, mark the “Do Not Release” circle. If you are considering or plan to enroll at CSU, mark the “Release” circle. Your Smarter Balanced results for this test will be provided to both institutions by selecting the Release circle. If you do not select to release your results, you may be requested to provide a copy of your results to the campus at a later time. Even if you have already answered this question at the end of an ELA or mathematics test you have already taken, you need to answer it for this test to have the EAP results of both tests reported.

Your CAASPP Student Report will provide a website, where additional information is available on what your EAP results mean.
