CRCT- Reading
So, as pretty much all the kids from grades 3-8 in Georgia know, the CRCT is a big deal. This is why the teachers teach us and grind information into our brains every year: THE CRCT. Just in case you don't know, CRCT stands for Criterion Referenced Competency Test (yeah, I like saying CRCT better too..) which basically is saying that this is a big test over "criteria" that the teachers are supposed to follow. Today, we were "administered" the first test- the Reading section. The test is composed of two sections in which you read passages and have to answer questions about them. This is probably one of the tests that throw me off more than something like Math or Science, because there is no way to get an exact answer unless it is right in front of you face- stated clearly in the test. The answers you choose come from your interpretation of the passage, not a fact stated in your textbook. As all the people that know me are aware of, I am a VERY logical person, and when I don't know if the answer to something, I always want one exact method to check or double check if needed. But, unlike Math, reading a passage doesn't work that way. Welcome to the CRCT....
