The Department of Public Instruction has posted samples of the reading, math, science, algebra, biology and English II exams that students will take this spring. The "released forms" -- presumably not the same questions students will see in May -- are designed to help teachers prepare their students for the tests.
You can try the new online testing for the high school exams. It took me quite a bit of clicking to get it to work (you have to make sure pop-ups aren't blocked), and when it did, the computer had the nerve to tell me I'd gotten the first English question wrong. Hmph!

Hey, Ann did you try filling out the new math grids?
No, didn't really have much time to play around with these.
Looked at the ela a 8th grade reading test. I got both sample questions wrong, and I have a graduate degree in English. What's wrong with this picture?
So thanks for finally providing some framework for what the spring tests will look like - only going to create my baseline for performance pay. NC has done a poor pitiful job of shifting to the common core and CMS an even worse job. They were not prepared. I have had to spend hundreds of hours researching OTHER states to find resources for my students.
ELA?
Perhaps I missed my opportunity to make a million designing a PfP acronym scoring rubric?
