At my school, we had a half-day schedule on Friday so we could spend 2 hours on the practice test for the practice test for the test of the test that doesn't count. Of course, we got nothing done. I did have time to run into 3 out of 3 multiple-choice, one-optio-only, no-explanation questions with multiple defensible answers, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636728240804210532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-47734271049630223742015-02-01T10:25:20.428-08:002015-02-01T10:25:20.428-08:00PARCC has just released this for parents in NJ

Also, just out of curiosity, have you or your child/children attempted any of the practice tests? If you have and can honestly say that you feel they are age/grade appropriate, are "real world" problems and are unbiased then - and I mean no disrespect - you are delusion and/or have been brainwashed by the NJDOE.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681922021193600965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-80451258020444114092015-02-01T06:47:42.636-08:002015-02-01T06:47:42.636-08:00The questions on the NJASK suffer from the problem...The questions on the NJASK suffer from the problems already mentioned. All one has to do is look at the questions.<br /><br />One doesn't have to do a peer reviewed study to see that the sky (in summer) is blue. <br /><br />Similarly, no one ever did a peer reviewed study on the NJASK tasks. So this new standard you're proposing, which none of your claims meet either, seems odd. <br /><br />What I find very funny is that you keep writing things like "Evidence is not just repeating the same claim over and over" but you seem unwilling to look at evidence when it's presented to you. I feel like this is similar to the discussions with the anti-vaccine crowd (who also see the vaccine makers as profiteers). I don't think you are like that, as your concerns are sincere, but it's the same level of discussion. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-53870836824389940542015-01-31T22:32:22.448-08:002015-01-31T22:32:22.448-08:00Jersey Parent,

You can't, because no studies have been done. Yet we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this test, not to mention wasting hours of valuable instructional time.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647186531856240979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-87143448307488690402015-01-31T20:30:55.683-08:002015-01-31T20:30:55.683-08:00The evidence is the NJASK test.

Many questions on NJASK could be answered correctly using techniques from test prep courses, without any understanding of the reading/math involved. It was a bad test. The released PARCC questions greatly improve on this low standard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
