NSCAS Post-Test Data Verification
NSCAS testing is complete and it time to review student data. Below is the tentative summer schedule. This schedule will depend on the amount of anomalies found and how long it takes to reconcile the districts’ SIS, ADVISER Validation and the testing systems. If you have any questions please contact Maggie Sis (margaret.sis@nebraska.gov).
