"Dropped" denotes items that were deleted from the final scaling. 2 One item split and collapsed. "Collapsed" denotes items that had categories that were combined and recoded for scaling. NOTE: All items were trend in 2014. "Concurrent" denotes items that were scaled as the same items across assessment years.The number of concurrent polytomously scored constructed-response items is equal to the total number in the first three columns under Polytomously scored constructed-response items. The sum of the uncollapsed and collapsed columns is equal to the total number of previously administered polytomously scored constructed-response items. In 2014, grades 4 and 12 were not assessed.
