[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try taking one of the sample tests in reading. They're not easy by any means. Also, remember that these are computer tests, not paper pencil. Many of the students will be taking them on the chrome books. These are timed tests. If you don't have great keyboarding skills, then there's a strong possibility you will not finish the test, which will certainly lead to some anxiety, not to mention low scores. Will the tests be an accurate measure of a student's mastery of academic content if they have poor keyboarding skills? You can access practice tests from the PARCC/Pearson site. Put your kid on it and time him (and watch his anxiety kick in). [/quote] My kid is actually doing practice tests on the Chromebooks in class. She hasn't reported any anxiety. Also, my kid's teacher field-tested the PARCC tests last year. She reports that the tests went well, and she doesn't expect any problems this year.[/quote]
