Paraphrasing is used in questions requiring literal comprehension, so readers are not merely matching words. Test format is multiple choice with four answer choices, one of which is the right or best answer. Each student reads two rather lengthy passages a narrative or story-type one and an expository or informational one. The overall reading process is assessed. Readers at all levels must be able to predict, make inferences, evaluate, interpret, and apply the information they read.
Questions have five answer choices.
One, two, or three of these answer choices may be correct. The student must indicate whether each answer choice is or is not correct. Send feedback to the CPS Web team .
