Now show me the same test from Alabama, or North Carolina.
Chances are it's not of the same quality. California actually has a relatively good educational system, compared to the rest of the country.
- danielweber 14y agoGrade 7 NC math test looks pretty similar to the California test. http://www.ncpublicschools.org/docs/accountability/testing/releasedforms/grade7mathreleased.pdf http://www.ncpublicschools.org/docs/accountability/testing/r... And I'm teaching someone grade 7 math in North Carolina, so this is something I care about a lot. There's not a whole lot of secret sauce in a multiple-choice test. Yes, you can do them well or you can do them poorly. But even if you were to assume that California has super-awesome math tests, it would be pretty easy to duplicate them elsewhere.
