,Question 1 of 102
A Grade 4 math assessment item aligned to TEKS 4.3E (represent and solve addition/subtraction of
fractions) shows that 72% of students answered correctly, but item analysis reveals a distractor
selection pattern where high-performing students chose a specific wrong answer. Which conclusion is
most valid?
A. The item should be removed due to low discrimination.
B. The distractor likely captures a common misconception about common denominators.
C. The item is too easy and should be replaced with a more complex task.
D. The distractor indicates that students miscalculated by adding numerators alone.
The correct answer is:
Correct Action: The distractor likely captures a common misconception about common denominators.
Rationales
• The distractor likely captures a common misconception about common denominators. (Correct):
This is the correct action. High-performing students selecting a specific distractor indicates the distractor is plausible and
taps a subtle misunderstanding. Option B is correct because misconceptions about common denominators are typical in
fraction addition. Option A is less likely since overall difficulty is moderate. Option C ignores distractor pattern. Option D
• The item should be removed due to low discrimination. (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Option B is correct because misconceptions about common denominators are typical in
fraction addition. Option A is less likely since overall difficulty is moderate
• The item is too easy and should be replaced with a more complex task. (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Option B is correct because misconceptions about common denominators are typical in

,Question 2 of 102
After administering an interim assessment, a teacher obtains student RIT scores from NWEA MAP
Growth. To form flexible groups for a two-week unit on geometric measurement, which data-based
grouping approach best maximizes both targeted instruction and peer discussion opportunities?
A. Group students by same RIT band (e.g., 201-210) and assign common tasks per band.
B. Heterogeneously group within each class with one high, two medium, and one low RIT student per group.
C. Group only the lowest quartile together for intensive intervention and let others work independently.
D. Use quintile rankings from the prior spring assessment rather than current fall scores.
The correct answer is:
Correct Action: Heterogeneously group within each class with one high, two medium, and one low RIT
student per group.
Rationales
• Heterogeneously group within each class with one high, two medium, and one low RIT student per group.
(Correct):
This is the correct action. Heterogeneous grouping (B) allows peer tutoring and discourse, which supports conceptual
understanding in geometry while still enabling targeted scaffolds. Homogeneous grouping (A) may limit discourse. Option
C ignores middle and high achievers' needs. Option D uses outdated data; current data is essential for accurate grouping.
• Group students by same RIT band (e.g., 201-210) and assign common tasks per band. (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Homogeneous grouping (A) may limit discourse. Option C ignores middle and high
achievers' needs

(Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Homogeneous grouping (A) may limit discourse. Option C ignores middle and high
achievers' needs

This option is not appropriate. Homogeneous grouping (A) may limit discourse. Option C ignores middle and high
achievers' needs

, Question 3 of 102
A Grade 4 student consistently scores at the 15th percentile in math problem-solving despite Tier 1
differentiation. Progress monitoring data over 8 weeks shows a flat trend line. According to MTSS
best practices for 2026, which intervention adjustment is most appropriate?
A. Increase the frequency of Tier 2 small-group sessions from 3 to 4 times per week with a more explicit protocol.
B. Refer for a special education evaluation immediately to determine eligibility.
C. Maintain current Tier 2 intervention but increase dosage by extending session length from 20 to 30 minutes.
D. Move the student to Tier 3 intensive intervention with daily 45-minute sessions and continuous progress
monitoring.
The correct answer is:
Correct Action: Move the student to Tier 3 intensive intervention with daily 45-minute sessions and
continuous progress monitoring.
Rationales
• Move the student to Tier 3 intensive intervention with daily 45-minute sessions and continuous progress
monitoring. (Correct):
This is the correct action. A flat trend line and very low percentile despite Tier 1 and Tier 2 indicate inadequate response,
warranting Tier 3 intensity (D). Option A would still be Tier 2; the student already failed to respond. Option B is premature
without a full RTI process. Option C (increasing time) is less evidence-based than increasing frequency and intensity.
• Increase the frequency of Tier 2 small-group sessions from 3 to 4 times per week with a more explicit protocol.
(Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Option A would still be Tier 2; the student already failed to respond. Option B is premature
without a full RTI process
• Refer for a special education evaluation immediately to determine eligibility. (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Option A would still be Tier 2; the student already failed to respond. Option B is premature
