* The World Languages framework will be used for all newly developed and redeveloped language tests.

** 103 Elementary Education was originally designed to replace the 083 Elementary Test with two separately scored tests. In 2013 the test was reconfigured as one test with 150 test questions, 120 of which are scorable. For the purposes of the Content Validation Survey, the 14 objectives contained within the framework for the two separately scored tests compiled into a single test design, and the data from the survey similarly combined.
