He said it took “awhile” and were about 20 questions in each section, and there were three sections. He still thinks it was a practice test because that is what he said the teacher told them. I am the one wondering if it was the real thing or just an extensive practice session.

This year, they gave the kids a chance to practice a problem or two for each section and then had them take the test on that section. He may have been talking about that.

Talked with the school - it was the actual test.

We had our take the test just to start pressurized test taking. The whole thing is a practice test, unless you’re counting on CES to opt out of your local cluster. If so GL to you as we wouldn’t leave our home school, we consider forging local bonds to be enrichment.

If you are that set against CES, you could have just opted out of the testing...

Also, there has been pressurized testing since Kindergarten in MCPS.
