[quote=Anonymous]The same tests are aligned to the common core curriculum, so why would they be dissimilar? In 2011, Pearson won a $32 million contract to develop New York’s standardized tests, a contract that runs through 2015. So Maryland is preparing for PARCC assessments... why what a surprise! (insert gasp) The PARCC states have contracted with two groups of vendors to develop the range of items and tasks that will make up the PARCC mid-year, performance-based and end-of-year assessments in English language arts/literacy and mathematics for grade 3 through high school. These include prime contractors Pearson and Educational Testing Services (ETS), each working with a set of subcontractors. http://www.isbe.state.il.us/assessment/pdfs/2013/parcc/fact-sheet-faq0313.pdf It's going to be the same damn test.
