  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!)
In an effort to prepare students for taking their first computer test, teachers should allow the students the opportunity to learn the basics of what they will need to know, to be able to take the test. This means that the students should be practicing taking quizzes on the computer long before they will have to take the STAR test. The questions on the test should be level appropriate and easy for the students at a first grade level to understand.
