Tucker and Tome say they understand the information is coming out later than usual, but say that overall the new test is an improvement over Smarter Balanced.

The department has created a new online portal for results and is still adding func- tionality to it, such as the ability to cross-reference the test re- sults with, for example, the stu- dents who attended a summer program or were in a particu- lar literacy program. They are still rolling out those new tools, Tome said. One big change to the test this year is the essay portion. In the 2015-16 test, the essay was com- bined into reading and writing, but officials said it work well because it stretched out that portion too long. Students were reading passages, an- swering questions about those passages, taking a break, then returning to write an essay on the passages.

The DOE also changed the time allowed to take the test, which is broken down into six sections, usually administered over five half-day testing ses- sions. The first year, they did not set a time limit because it was a new test, Tucker said. This spring, students were given time limits on each section for a total minimal testing time of five hours, 20 minutes. Students could take up to 10 minutes more on any given section, if needed.

They simply do everything through the report- ing mechanism in the time they had to work with Tucker said the DOE expects to release the results of the 2016- 17 test during the summer for review. She said it was too early to know when they would be re- leased to the public. All the data, including the internal informa- tion, is expected to be released at the same time. Tucker said she was really that the state is now in the second year of using the same test, and that the new reporting system is more robust and flexible.

Right now the state cannot compare year-over-year progress because the test is new. The results from the 2017- 18 test, given to students in the spring of 2018, will be the first to compare year-over-year prog- ress, she said. Maine has worked with Mea- sured Progress on state tests for more than 30 years. Before Smarter Balanced, Measured Progress developed original state assessments and later administered the New England Common Assessment Program test, which was used after 2009. Noel K.
