[b]Common-Core Tests to Take Up to 10 Hours
[/b]
Schools and districts will have[b] 20 days to give the PARCC performance-based assessment, which occurs after about three-quarters of the school year [/b]and focuses on more in-depth, extended exercises. They will have[b] another 20-day window to administer the end-of-year computer-based component, which occurs after 90 percent of the year[/b]. Those two components will make up a student's summative score.

Currently the[b] Maryland School Assessment[/b] tests for grades three to eight take approximately six hours over a four day span—two for mathematics and two for science. [b]The high school assessments, which are subject-based, are taken after the completion of select courses and are approximately an hour long. [/b]

The rest of it varies from state to state, but looking on the state Common Core educational sites they ALL have plans for baseline testing in the classroom at the beginning of the year and thoughout the year to see what the kids learning.

This is teaching to the test to the extreme.

The teacher/principal evaluations are tied to their student's performance so yeah it would be foolish for them not to guinea pig the children to get the highest score.[/quote]
