[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same was true with the PARCC. When a child touched the plain background outside the questions test box window area, this would end the test  and submit scores, even if a child would do it within the first seconds of the test.
That is why people practiced with the test not so much the content but sheer testing process
that was unnecessarily complicated for  small children of whom many do not have much
experience  with portable devices and testing process.
Kids were traumatized by fear not to click anywhere, some more then of the test itself.
It is important to know that a child did not go outside the testing window as the testing
window was covered the entire screen area, it was all about clicking outside
of the text box within the testing screen area.

Try to search this forum for PARCC and you might find similarities.

I don't know how parents or teachers solved this issue or approached it as I don't have
personal experience with this but you might gain some insight by searching the past posts.[/quote]

Honestly, this is why we really should go back to paper and pencil tests. The teacher says "ready and ... go!" and everyone opens their test booklet and starts. [/quote]
