In 4th grade, you have 2 different types of MCAS tests to take in March.
The first is the writing MCAS test on March 19. This is the test that you need to write a 2 to 3 page story about something that happened to you. In the past, the question has been to write a story about a snow day, a story about meeting a friend, a story about being helpful, and so on.
The other test is the reading MCAS test, which will be on Friday, March 22 and Monday, March 25. On this test, each day you will read a selection (fiction, nonfiction, poem, traditional literature, or a play) and then answer about 8 multiple choice questions. Then you'll read a second selection and answer multiple choice questions, and a third and answer multiple choice questions. Each day one of those selections will have an open response question. You'll need to write up to a one page response to the question. It usually asks why a character did something, or in nonfiction it will ask you to describe some of the information.
