ISAT Math Practice
Idaho Standards Achievement Test. ISAT is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for math, which Briveli covers comprehensively.
Spring (early March through late May, district-selected window)
Computer-adaptive
No calculator in grades 3-5. Grades 6-8 have the embedded Smarter Balanced calculator on the calculator-allowed CAT segment and the performance task.
Four achievement levels: Level 1 (Below Basic), Level 2 (Basic), Level 3 (Proficient), Level 4 (Advanced)
About the ISAT
The Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) is Idaho's brand for the Smarter Balanced summative assessment, which the state has used since 2014-15. Math is given to every student in grades 3 through 8 plus grade 10 (Idaho's high-school accountability grade is 10, not 11). The test is fully computer-adaptive on the CAT side and includes one performance task, and Idaho uses the standard Smarter Balanced 2000-3000 vertical scale. The State Department of Education publishes results each fall on the Idaho Report Card site (idahoschools.org), which exposes math proficiency rates by school, district, and demographic subgroup.
Idaho keeps the Smarter Balanced default four-level cut structure but uses the older labels Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced rather than the consortium's 'Standard Met' phrasing — a holdover from the pre-SBAC ISAT brand. Proficient (Level 3) is the federal accountability bar. Idaho also offers an interim assessment block program built on the same SBAC engine, which districts use for fall and winter check-ins. Math test sessions average 1.5 to 2 hours for the CAT and another hour for the performance task, with most districts spreading the test across two to three sittings.
