Not in the mail (the original notice about my kid being tested was in the mail) but there was an email last week from the Principal stating the date of testing for our ES. Bradley Hills in Bethesda. |

Close to 3.5, but not in long stretches. Lots of short sections with teacher directions in between. |

| Anyone know/remember if it's the fall or spring MAPP that will be used in the final consideration? Or maybe fall to decide who gets tested, and spring for final decisions? |

The fall scores were used to determine who would be tested. The Spring scores are too late. Maybe the winter scores from this month? |

| I thought that they said the fall scores would be used. And PARCC scores. |

It is wrong information. They don't have any test for 3.5 hour. Don't get misguided. The test was one hour long. |

| It’s only 1.5 hours long according to DS but he wasn’t really keeping track of time so PPs post (1hr) could be about right. |

| Our email say 3.5 hours at the testing site - is that not accurate? Or is it 1 hour of actual testing, and 2 hours of filler? |

Fall GRADES only. Go to the link for the Oct 12th presentation. |

| Is it going to be a paper based test or computer based? |

| They just added additional wi-fi hubs in come classrooms at RM for the testing, so I assume it will be computer based. |

| Saw a few kids cramming for the exam in the car at the drop off this morning - my DD got nervous. |

Seriously?

Not exactly a test you can cram for. |

| Sounds like a large percentage of the kids were tested today. How many more test sessions are there? I think I heard of one next week, and another the following week. |
