Connecticut high school juniors and their parents – LOOK OUT!
The new Connecticut state mandate that all 11th graders take the NEW SAT this coming March is getting more absurd by the day.
Last spring, in the face of mounting opposition to the unfair, inappropriate and discriminatory Common Core Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) test, Governor Dannel Malloy and the Connecticut General Assembly made decision to drop the Common Core SBAC test mandate for high school juniors (while keeping it in place for grades 3-8), and mandating, instead, that all 11th graders take the new Common Core SAT as part of their junior year requirements.
The decision to use the NEW Common Core SAT will extremely ill-conceived.
The Malloy administration then quickly signed a multi-million deal with the College Board to provide the NEW SAT to all high school juniors, promising that this requirement would open the doors for more students to go to college.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
The scam was a farce from the beginning.
The truth is that the NEW SAT is being rolled out for the first time this March. No student, teacher or school administrator has ever seen the new version of the test and it certainly isn’t aligned to Connecticut’s 11th grade curriculum.
What little is known about the NEW SAT is that it will test and judge students on content PSAT score delay spells more bad news for Connecticut SAT mandate - Wait What?:
