Lilja MCAS

Featured Blogger: Sammy
Hi, my name is Sammy Rochwerger and I’m here to tell you about the amazing Lilja MCAS! First let me tell you what MCAS is. MCAS is a test that everyone is tested around the whole state of Massachusetts! And guess what, they even do it around the whole country! MCAS starts in third grade. In third and fourth grade,    you have two weeks. One for ELA (English Language Arts), and one for Math. In middle school, you have three weeks. One for ELA, one for Math, and one for Science.
You have two days per week, Monday and Tuesday for each subject. For the reading week, you have to read a two stories, and for each story you will answer questions for both stories. For each story, you will have to answer an open-response question, which is a question where you have to type your answer instead of  touching A. B. C. or D. In math, the computer gives a question that has to do with math. But not all of the math questions are like 6x8=48.

Now that you know a lot about MCAS, I hope when you go into third grade, you will be excited for taking the MCAS test. See you later!!!
