[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC just took a practice test. DC said it was "hard" because there is an essay portion of the test. I thought it was all multiple choice? [/quote] LOL. Hence the validity problem. Tests that are supposed to be evaluating reading and math are actually testing typing, composition, spelling, grammar, and mechanics.[/quote] The tests are actually supposed to evaluate English/Language Arts, not just reading. Writing (by hand or typing), composition, spelling, grammar, and mechanics are important parts of English/Language Arts. What's more, the previous tests included these components as well.[/quote] Previous tests tested reading or writing. The rubrics were completely different for reading than for writing.[/quote]
