Fiscal Year 2008-09 Pre-Identification File Layout (Comparison) for Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR), California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE), and California English Language Development Test (CELDT) assessments.

This file layout (comparison) displays the data field names, field locations, and field lengths that are common to the STAR, CAHSEE, and CELDT assessments for 2008-09.  Additionally, clicking on the CDE Common Data Element Name will provide a dynamic link (presently in development) to assist in defining the data to be populated. CDE continues to move toward a truly common file layout, while responding to ever changing data collection requirements.  LEA submissions for each of the Pre-ID assessments should follow the specific Pre-ID file layout and preparation instructions provided by each assessment. The changes to this file layout (comparison) for 2008-09 are displayed at the end of the file.
