This CD-ROM contains data and documentation files for the 1996 state assessment in mathematics at grade 8 (total sample) for use in the analysis of NAEP data by secondary researchers. The “total sample” includes all schools and students, all of their responses, and data derived from these variables. The grade 4 data are available on a separate CD-ROM (see NCES 2003497). Included on the CD-ROM is a User's Guide provided in electronic portable document format (PDF). This guide contains information on the contents and use of the data files on this disk as well as the assessment design and its implications for analysis. NAEP datasets from 2002 onward require a Tool Kit with the updated NAEPEX. Your organization must apply for and be granted a restricted-use data license in order to obtain these data.
