District Verification

The Mississippi Assessment Center has developed this tool to help district test coordinators prepare for MS-CPAS2 testing. How this tool works:

• The MAC imports secondary student and teacher information from MDE, so you don't have to upload it.
• You log in and confirm the data is correct:
• Confirm the classes and teachers being taught in your system as they relate to MS-CPAS2.
• Confirm student ID numbers are correct.
• Confirm the students in each class and let us know if they should be scheduled for exams.

Please use the Questionmark reporting service to ensure your students took the correct test and have a score. Log In to Questionmark Reports. The assessment staff will identify test questions that need to be examined. MDE program supervisors will decided if any adjustments need to be made to scores. Your district personnel will be able to access final reports on this site once all adjustments are reconciled.
