Alignment of National Evaluation Series Physics (323) Framework with National Standards

This alignment study identifies the national standards that are addressed in whole or in part by each competency of the assessment framework. An indication of alignment does not necessarily imply complete congruence of the content of a National Evaluation Series test competency with the relevant standard. The information in this document is subject to change if revisions are made to the assessment framework. Any changes will fully supersede the information contained in this document.
