30 minutes is short. Not sure how scoring on that will matter.

How many questions in each 10 minute part, if those who took the test can share?

DD said 24, 18, 18. (vocabulary, number sequencing, patterns)

Just to add another data point from my kid, who took it yesterday. Three sections, 10 minutes each, done on the Chromebooks. Also a questionnaire where they were supposed to list their favorite subjects/classes and the subjects/classes they found boring and explain why.

Interesting that these recent posters are saying the kids took the test on Chromebooks! My kid took it earlier in Jan and it was on paper.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the Chromebook version appears to be the pilot test. The regular test is still on paper.

Correct. My daughter took it on a chromebook as part of the Fox Chapel pilot.

My son took his test last week on his Chromebook as part of the new pilot program and he wanted to know why it was so "easy".

Yes, the Chromebook test is for the pilot schools, but it should be the same test as the paper one at the other schools (at least according to somebody who attended the presentation on the new programs last fall: see post at the bottom ofthis page: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/75/594742.page).

Everybody who has taken the test this year, at both "traditional" and "pilot" schools has said it's the 30-minute, 3-section version.
