  1. Hello Mrs. Heaney I'm sorry to inform you that I was unable to access the PARCC Practice Test for the reason of not having the correct credentials. Unsure of what this meant I continued to use the two profiles that I know, but to no avail. Please accept this apology as I do not wish to fail any of your assignments. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Andrew Paul

  2. When I went to go take the test a message came up that said, "To view this page, you must log in to area “webmail.middletownk12.org” on webmail.middletownk12.org:443." and that I needed a username and password. I tried my school logon and that did not work so I asked my friend swhat they did and they said theirs did the same exact thing so I couldn't take it.

  10. Just another test that is too long and is pointless. It judges our test taking skills and not our actual intelligence and such.

  11. The PARCC Test is a lot like all of the other tests we take. I feel like a lot of the answers were too close in meaning, its kind of tricky. I don't really like tests like this.

  14. There were so many passages, and that If i it was timed i would not be able to finish it.

  15. Test had many passages and seemed very pointless.

  16. Some of the multiple choice questions were worded in a way that made it seem like there were no correct answers provided.

  17. I had trouble with a lot of the vocabulary and the passages on the test.

  18. Each individual question required a lot of thought. I feel like if the test were timed I would not finish.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Passages were too long and didn't recognize most of the vocab.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The test was longer than it had to be.

  21. The vocab wasn't too difficult, but the multiple choice questions weren't worded in a fashion that I understood. Also took me a long time, if I was timed I would most likely not finish in time

  22. I do not like that the test is on the computer let alone on the chrome books because they are small and hard to read all the passages. Also, the vocabulary was difficult and I would much rather take it on paper then on the chrome book, or on a regular sized computer.

  23. I felt like I was trying to be tricked by the multiple choice questions and the reading bugged me, this test made me sad. I didn't think it was very useful or helpful or anything positive.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I thought the multiple choice questions and vocab was extremely difficult and hard to answer. They did not make any sense.
    -Chloe Rubino

  25. As long as each passage is, there should be more questions. It seems pointless to read a passage and only answer 2 question.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The test was longer then it should have been and the multiple choice i felt had more then one right answer you had to pick to better one out of the choices.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I felt it was really hard, so long and the essay was crazy.

  28. This test was ridiculously challenging and was very long. I do not approve of this. -Josh G.

  29. I found that the test required very long reading, to only answer a few, confusing questions. Many of the questions didn't make sense and sometimes almost purposely tricky - Jacob Dean

  33. Super fun test super swag super long super good test - SPENCER HERMAN

    ReplyDelete
  34. I didn't like it because all of your time goes into reading the passages

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sam S - If its anything like what I've heard, Im not a fan for it. The reading itself would take up all the time and the fact that its online makes it even worse. Taking it on laptops would be a disaster and don't even get me started on the school's technological problems. Overall, the test is a NO for me.

  36. I did not have trouble using this site, although I had trouble reading and understanding the passages. Also, I didn't understand most of the vocabulary. Sorry this is late, every time I tried to leave a comment it got deleted.

  37. I feel that this test is outrageous. How do they expect me to take a test when they have no idea how to grade me? With the hespa there was a way to grade an it actually showed me what i did wrong. This test will never show me what i got wrong and my grading means absolutely nothing. Furthermore, what if i have a problem reading and doing math on a computer? my grade could be highly affected because i have issue or trouble reading stories online. Also, this is a terrible idea to have an online test because with everyone taking the test at the same exact time the test will crash an be faulty taking more time outta the school day and what i could really be learning to take some B.S test. I feel that this test is to faulty for us to be taking this soon, it needs more time and to finish all the bugs before they expect me to take this.

  38. I posted this before but it was a lot of reading and the vocabulary was difficult to understand. Just overall it was a hard test to take.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Dead honestly I was not a fan of this test. The vocab was tough and it was not enjoyable. I am very mad and do not ever want to encounter an experience like this ever again. Thank you for your time.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I believe that this test was not efficiently set up, and not fluid to navigate through. This makes it much more difficult than they had to make it, and the fact that is on the computer is asinine. There is a very good chance that once all of those people log on, the computers will take a turn for the worse. I give it a thumbs down.

  41. the test was pretty rough if your askin me

    ReplyDelete
  42. There was a lot of reading that took up a lot of time and the vocab was very difficult

    ReplyDelete
  43. This test is very long and I am a slow reader and it would take me a long time to get it done so if I was time I would have trouble and might not be able to finish and some of the answers are similar and difficult.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I did not like the test, very lengthy and distracting being on the computer. It is also going to be slow with school wifi and the test itself is tricky. (Comment didn't go through)
