Document:  Click Here
Status:  Release
Version:  v1.0
Abstract: 

In order to optimize scoring reliability, scoring validity and efficiency, Smarter Balanced has provided this scoring method recommendation, but the scoring process will ultimately be a state determination. Smarter Balanced provides expectations for reliability and validity that member states must meet or exceed. Smarter Balanced intends to use reliability and validity criteria that are consistent with industry best practices as established as a deliverable of Smarter Balanced Contract-16/17.

As of Fall 2018 the Smarter Balanced Test Delivery System (TDS) is no longer supported.

The code base and documentation for the TDS is available within the Smarter Balanced GitHub repository.
