The State of California introduced the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress in 2015. Also called the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments, the tests are given annually to students in various grades. The tests are taken online and replace the previous Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR), which was paper based.
