Actually, you can answer the survey that fast. One of my students blasted through the PARCC survey at the end of section two of the test, a survey critiquing the test. This bilingual student reads at a mid-elementary level at most. I surmise he did not bother to read the questions. I hope PARCC does not put too much trust in its survey data. The kids are pretty burnt out by the end of testing. By that point, some of them are just randomly clicking on answers; forget about responding seriously to survey questions on the test itself. I did like one answer by a girl in an open response box. She said it was too hard, but that was O.K. “That’s what we do all the time anyway,” she concluded.

P.S. Hooray!! PARCC has ended.
