[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It came up recently in another thread that people feel there are problems with MCAP. I’m trying to understand what everyone sees as the problem with the test. I thought it was that the cut scores for the proficiency level was too high, but that didn’t seem to be it. Can others explain the problem?[/quote] The state used PARCC, which is a national and proven test, for years, but because of the common core backlash, they decided to make up their own new test. The problem was PARCC scores were very different than MCAP scores because the test was new and unproven. It's getting better but will probably take a few years to iron out the bugs and have a reliable metric. [/quote] But my understanding is the MCAP is not a whole new test from scratch. It’s mostly the PARCC with some parts shorten. Just like other states basically took the same PARCC test and slap a new label on it.[/quote]
