Are you smarter than a Common Core student? Try a Common Core test
New Common Core tests are supposed to measure students' ability to think critically, analyze information, and cite evidence as well as test their conceptual understanding of mathematics and their ability to apply math to the real world. See how you'd do on a Common Core test.
There is one set of Common Core standards, but there are many Common Core tests. Some states are creating their own tests, while others are using common tests developed by two state-led, federally funded consortia (SBAC and PARCC).
The new tests are meant to be more challenging than past state tests. The idea is to better measure students’ critical-thinking, communication and problem-solving skills.
