  Case: STAR test assessment question
A school recently decided to pilot the STAR test. This is the first time 1st graders were given a computer test that wasn't read to them. It is also only 35 questions and it is timed. Does anyone have any experience with this test or how to prep students for it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have given the STAR test before. For first graders there is no way to prep students except to teach them how to use the computer.

Comments: I believe their has to be other ways. Sending a letter to parents getting students to be familiar with a computer is another good idea.
