PARCC Practice

Featured Blogger: Patrick
This year now we are taking PARCC instead of MCAS.  We did the practice PARCC this week and we did the reading on Tuesday and math on Thursday.  The time we had went by fast on the PARCC test. On the math test, it was like TenMarks.  The math PARCC practices test has 17 questions and the reading PARCC practice test has 13 questions that you have to answer within an hour. We did the PARCC test on an iPad from either the fourth graders or 3Sp.

The PARCC math test had questions like this: What is 320 rounded to the nearest hundred? Is it 300, 400, or 200? That was like one of our questions.  The PARCC reading test had questions like “read this story and answer these questions.”  Something all kids should remember is to try your hardest!
