FTCE Exceptional Student Education (ESE) K-12 Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT included as part of an IEP?

1. Present level of academic achievement

2. Service delivery details

3. Standardized test scores only

4. Annual goals and objectives

The correct answer is: Standardized test scores only

The correct choice is the one that refers to standardized test scores only. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a comprehensive document that outlines the educational plan for a student with disabilities. It includes various elements such as the present level of academic achievement, service delivery details, and annual goals and objectives, all aimed at tailoring education to meet the unique needs of the student. Standardized test scores can be a part of the data used to understand a student's performance, but they cannot comprehensively define the student's academic level or their educational needs. The IEP emphasizes a holistic view of the student's abilities, challenges, and goals rather than a narrow focus on standardized testing results. This broader perspective ensures that the IEP remains individualized and relevant to the specific circumstances of the student.
