All students at LMS will be taking the new MCAS exam on Chromebooks for ELA (English Language Arts) and Math. The STE (Science, technology, engineering) exam will remain paper/pencil based and administered to grades 5 and 8 only. We have already had our students take some assessments on the Chromebook to build their experience with computer based testing and have gone over sample computer MCAS testing tools.
Here is the primary resource to practice tests and tutorials to gain additional familiarity:
