Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s Test Taking Strategies #1: Multiple Choice Questions – Elimination Method

If the answer does not stand out, try the elimination method. On a separate sheet of paper write down the letters, A B C D E to coincide with the letters of the multiple choice question. Then read over the potential answers. On your paper, cross out the letters of the answers that do not make any sense. At this point you will have eliminated all accept for the correct answer or have two choices remaining. Choosing one of the remaining two will give you 50/50 odds in getting the answer correct.

PARCC Tests Grades = MCAS + 2

By

Students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 currently take MCAS tests in math and English, with some grades also taking annual science tests. The PARCC tests will also start in grade 3 but will be given straight through to 11th grade in both math and English. This is an addition of test taking in grades 9 and 11. Come back tomorrow to find out about the PARCC math tests.

PARCC Tests – Part 2

By

The second part of the PARCC exam will test for reading comprehension and math concepts. Check back tomorrow to find out what grades will be taking the new PARCC tests.

PARCC Tests – Two Parts

By

The new PARCC tests will be taken in two parts. The first part will be issued to students 75% of the way through the school year. The second part will be at the end of the school year. Come back tomorrow for a closer look at the first part of the PARCC tests.

PARCC Test Score Results

By

After students complete the new PARCC test trial run in the spring of 2014, the test results will not be released to students or parents. In fact the results will not count toward state or federal school district grades. Apparently the test results will only be used by state officials when they vote in the fall of 2015 on whether to adopt the new PARCC tests permanently.

Tune in tomorrow to find out how the tests will be given out.

MCAS Remains For 10th Graders

By

Although in 2014 the new PARCC tests will be issued to certain MA schools for a trial run, all 10th graders will continue to take the MCAS tests. They will still be required to pass the MCAS tests in order to get their diploma.

Tomorrow we will look at how the new PARCC testing scores will be used.
