 Where have YOU been? It's all over the NY news. NY and Kentucky took the early PARCC tests. Why do you think they are ready to run the head of education out of the state?

No, Kentucky did not take the early PARCC tests. Kentucky designed their own Common Core tests.

K-PREP
Published: 5/17/2013 2:55 PM

?Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), enacted in the 2009 Kentucky General Assembly, required a new public school assessment program beginning in the 2011-12 school year. These assessments were collectively named the Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) tests.

?The assessment for grades 3-8 is a blended model built with norm-referenced test (NRT) and criterion-referenced test (CRT) items which consist of multiple-choice (mc), extended-response (er) and short answer (sa) items. The NRT is a purchased test with national norms and the CRT portion is customized for Kentucky.
