All tests used in accordance with this part shall be equivalent tests. Each year, at least seventy percent (70%) of items on each test must be fresh, nonredundant items that did not appear on that test in the previous four (4) years in grades three through eight (3-8) and the previous three (3) years in subject-specific high school tests. The commissioner shall ensure that assessments used to measure academic progress required by this chapter meet acceptable standards of reliability and appropriately measure students at all levels of achievement.
