Take a sample Florida Standards Test! (Common Core)
Florida Standards Assessment ^

Posted on 07/02/2014 7:23:48 PM PDT by dontreadthis

The Florida Department of Education on Monday released more information about the state's new series of standardized tests that will replace most of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test next spring. The information, including sample questions, can be viewed at http://www.fsassessments.org

The Education Department wants to hear what the public, particularly teachers, thinks about the sample questions, so there is a comment form on the website, too. The state will take comment through Sept. 5.

The FSA will rely less on multiple-choice questions and more on items that require students to show their work or how they arrived at an answer. The sample questions show that:

Third-graders might have to write a sentence explaining the main idea of a paragraph.

Seventh-graders might have to pull information from both a passage of text and a map to answer a reading-test question

High-school students might be shown grammar and spelling errors in a passage and then have to make corrections.

Fifth-graders, given a worked-out math problem, might have to pinpoint where a mistake was made.

Shoot that is too hard for most.

More like, "How's do the buckets make you feel?" Or what color would the buckets be?

I think I scored 487 on the 1965 Florida Senior Placement test. I got 99th percentile on four of the five sections but verbal or grammar or whatever it was called caught me.

Archie Bunker was helping his niece do her homework and there was one of those questions “If train “A” leaves the station at six o’clock traveling 50 miles per hour and train “B” leaves.....” Archie said “Train ‘A’ ain’t never gonna’ catch train ‘B’. Train ‘A” was tryin’ to catch train ‘B’ when I was a kid.”
