BREAKING NEWS!!! PREVIEW OF 2012 NYS MATH AND ELA TESTS!!!

Yes, today being the first day of April that can only mean that testing season is just around the corner. The crack team has been hard at work through intermediaries to get a preview of the upcoming standardized tests for grades 3-8 and just several hours ago all Math and ELA tests have fallen in the crack team's laps. We here at SBSB feel that we have a fiduciary responsibility to not only breach test security, but to share some of the more interesting problems on both tests. However, we do have journalistic integrity as well as a strong sense of ethics and while the problems will be published we feel, and at the advice of counsel, that the answers will not be published.

Diane Ravitch wrote a great piece in today's Daily News about the words that will not be allowed in the state exams. We here at SBSB found out the reason why.

So sit back and enjoy, and do share with that special student in your life, a brief preview of the upcoming 2012 Math and ELA New York State Exams.
