Standard Setting
In the Spring of 2024, Wisconsin educators will recommend cut scores for the Forward Exam in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The cut scores separate students into one of the four achievement levels, which provide clear indicators of a student's level in relation to the Wisconsin Academic Standards and indicate if they are on track for future learning. More information about this event and how to apply to participate will be available in November.
