[quote=Anonymous]Falls Church City uses the STAR Math and ELA tests 4x/year that come back as percentiles. It is also computer adaptive and takes around 20-30minutes--I am surprised FCPS did not go with STAR-they are not bad although I am not sure FCC uses the results in a way that I would--for example they base a lot of the GT placement on this--so on an achievement vs abilities test. When you tell me that the kids have games to play inside the iready test and that it lasts so long it does not sound good. I don't understand why they have these tests/websites where you learn and play games at the same time--to me it is a call for increasing all of our ADHD tendencies...I mean either have the kids study OR play--why do we need both at the same time--to me it defeats the purpose of either.
