The 2017 New Jersey State Standardized Testing (PARCC – Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career) for grades 3 through 8 and for students taking the PARCC in high school, are completely computerized and timed. It will cover concepts required in the Common Core in math and language arts. Parts of the assessment will require your child to respond to open-ended prompts to explain answers, provide evidence, etc. Your child will also have to write at least one timed essay based on a given prompt. This is in addition to questions based on reading comprehension. This assessment will be taken in March 2017.
Knowledge of proficient to excellent touch typing skills will help your child succeed with this new testing. Your child may know how to answer an open-ended prompt, but if he/she isn’t able to logically articulate their thoughts into an understandable written response, in the required number of minutes because they are employing the “hunt and peck” method, your child’s score will decrease. Also, since they are slow typists, their desire to write a strong response will fade as the clock ticks away.
