[quote=Anonymous]The PARCC ES variant takes as much as 10 hours to give, more like 8-9 hours for 3rd and 4th graders, spread over 5 testing days with a 1.5-2 hour testing session on each day. Roughly two hours of the total testing time is just administrative/directions time, so really only 7-8 hours of testing. Pearsons actually shaved an hour off PARCC two years ago. In a nutshell, the test takes a long time to administer and take because Pearsons Education says so, and OSSE bought the test from them as a product. Pearsons USA testing wing is a $500 million+ operation these days, so lots of jobs and profits in the mix for this British corporate behemoth with London HQ. You have the gall to question this arrangement? My god, you must be mentally ill (as pointed out on the previous page). [/quote]
