[quote=Anonymous]Please understand that this test is not in line with the county’s curriculum. It is meant to be a screener. It also is a poor format for a test, because if kids get bored or accidentally hit the wrong answer and can’t fix it, it looks like they did worse than they really are capable of. I have seen so many kids just skim the screen and pick an answer to get it over with, especially they think recess time is coming and they might miss it. They won’t, but they think that. This kind of test really depends on the motivation and work habits of the kid, and especially for math, if they took the time to use scrap paper to write a problem out. Don’t panic about these scores.

If you are really concerned, ask for a parent conference and ask to see work samples of what your kid can do in class.

I’ve never seen a teacher pay much attention to these test scores, because we know it’s a poor assessment. The conscientious kids do well, and the others just click away to get done. [/quote]
