Times are estimates of test length for most
students. Smarter Balanced assessments are
designed as untimed tests; some students
may need and should be afforded more time
than shown in this table.
Additional information and the powerpoints
used this evening can be found by going to
the CMS website – Shortcuts – CCSS/SBAC for
