If you are that set against CES, you could have just opted out of the testing...

Also, there has been pressurized testing since Kindergarten in MCPS.

He said it took “awhile” and were about 20 questions in each section, and there were three sections. He still thinks it was a practice test because that is what he said the teacher told them. I am the one wondering if it was the real thing or just an extensive practice session.


Thanks for clarifying


Talked with the school - it was the actual test.

This year, they gave the kids a chance to practice a problem or two for each section and then had them take the test on that section. He may have been talking about that.
