2. Desmos Calculator
The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is upgrading to the Desmos calculator for online testing.
The new calculator is available in the test delivery system on January 9, 2017.
The new calculator will be available for the summative assessments, interim assessments, and practice and training tests.
The publicly available Desmos calculator will vary slightly from the Desmos calculator students will use in the online test delivery system. In the Desmos testing calculator, some calculator features are suppressed (e.g., the calculator’s ability to solve algebraic equations) to maintain the construct of the test. An exact representation of the calculator used in operational testing is available in the practice and training tests.
