I liked that I could type my answers. I liked everything. The instructions where easy. I understood everything asked of me. I liked the technology. My typing is good. LOVED IT
i didn't like taking the test on the computer because it hurt my eyes and its kinda hard how they make you memorize how to high light and the story's really long (super) but i liked how it made me type the summary and essays
1) i liked the fact that we took it on a computer
2) i liked the part when i was assigned to an essay and i liked the fact that i could type in my answer instead of having a multy answer bubble in sheet
3)i didn't understand everything but most of it was pretty simple
4)YES, the technology was fun to use
5)my typing skills were good for this task
6)i guess i actually do like this test. I like the way it's formatted.

I liked the essay at the end. I felt the stories were long and difficult. The instructions at times could be confusing, but not always. The technology was fun to use, but at first highlighting was confusing. I thought my typing skills helped me in the test A LOT. I liked the test better than the CSTs.

I didn't enjoy taking the test online because the directions were unclear. The writing prompts were too long and reading I got a little bored reading. The multi-paragraph essay directions were unclear. The CSTs directions were more clear and easier to go back and check your work

I liked taking the test on the computer because i like having to write your own answer on some of them. I also liked how we got to write the story in the end. One thing that i didnt like was how long the passage that you have to read.
I thought the final Essay at the end was fun. But, i didn't like the stories cause they were too long. And i didn't like the way the audio worked. I liked the CST's way better than core testing. I also didn't like that there were no auto correct although i know why they didn't.

I really enjoyed doing the pilot test for CORE. I liked how you did not have to put the perfect answer, but you could write your own answer. Also I liked how you got to write or highlight instead of just bubbling into a scantron.

i didnt like it i got alot more confused and all the reading made me day dream, they should make the passages shorter, and make more clear.

I like the fact that I can type out my own answers and that I don't have to have multiple choice. I also liked the multi- paragraph essay. Some things I didn't like was that the stories were very long, and that some of the directions and instructions were confusing.
i didn't like it i thought it was boring and i'm just use to the CST but 1 thing i did like about it was that you can highlight
I did not like the test on the computer because the questoins were not clear and the stories are longer I would also rather take a test on paper
I liked the testing. It gave me more choices than just 4 and made me think more. I dis-liked the hearing part. It was harder to pull quotes from just listening. I hope i can take this test again.

The instructions were confusing and I couldnt consentrate. I feel more comfortablewvith the CST'S.
I personaly didnt like it because it was very complacated,also they didnt explain the instructions well enough for me. also it had very long stories which i personaly didnt like.

I really liked doinbg the testing on the computer better because i liked how we could write our own answers, write summarys and it helped me focas better on the computer
I really liked the core testing.all though the quetions need to be more clear and hey need to give a training course on how to work everything. but thats it and i really liked testing on the computer.
#20 Harrison's Revised Comment
I liked the fact that we were able to type out our answers and you could acually think about your answer. I also like how there is No "Lucky Guess" You just put in what you think. I like everything and I am happy to get into more advanced technology. I felt that the instructions where easy to follow and didn't take more then one read to get them sinked in. MY GENERAL OPINION: LOVED IT, ME LIKE COMPUTERS!!!

I really did not like the tests on the computer because it hurts my eyes alot. I also did not like the essay we were supoose to write because it did not give spacific instructions. I am also much comfortable with the CST test and how it has a, b, c,and d.
I didnt really like the computers, honestly, what i really liked about it was the final essay. Thats it, and sometimes the questions can be confusing on the test. I got a kick out of typing it though, that was fun for me. I think the audio was weird. Stories were a tad bit long, and they had no spelling check, I guess because their suspecting us to already know the basic things.I think maybe cst's might be better.
I did realy like the typing part on the Pilot test but the rest I of the test I Did not like at all. i wish it would stay same old CST that we always take and some of the directions where hard to understand and that made it hard to awnser the prompt/qustion. my eyes heart at the end of the test and that gave me a little bite of a head ach and than thinking about taking the test again on the computer tomarrow would be dreadful. i did like taking it on the computer but, I did not like everything else. -Gavin Reese 31#

I think that taking the test on the computer is worse than on paper. I felt like the test did not give good instructions. I also like when it has multiple choose becasue it makes it easier to understand wht they are asking.

for the most part i loved this test. I loved using the computers and the questions were funt to awnser. I deffinitly liked the CST more but i know this is how our tests will be in the future. One thing i did not likewas how the directions were so unclear.
I did not like this test for many reasons. I didn't like the fact that the prompts were very long, but part of it might be that I am not used to it. I also did not like how they left the directions so unclear. There are a few things that I did like, though. I liked the multi-paragraph writing prompt. I also liked the highlighting function. Overall, I didn't like this test, but there were a few things I didn't mind.
I did not like the test on the computer for a few reasons. I felt like it was very hard to concentrate. I also did not like how we sometimes had to type are answers instead of multiple choice. I also thought that some of the questions were really hard and confusing and I didn't sometimes understand what to do. I thought that the stories were WAY longer then in the CSTs. Since they were longer I sometimes remembering my self daydreaming and then having to go back and read it again. And i did not think the techonlogy was fun to use becausse all we did was type and click. However I did think that being on a lap top the whole year has helped me with the typing parts because it made it easier. So in conclusion i did not like the test!
Taking the test on the computer wasn't as good as taking the CST's with pencil. Taking the test on the computer was confusing. They didn't give you a lot of instructions.
I liked pretty much everything about this test. I enjoyed it being on the computer and I think that it was easy to follow. I also I did this test fast because I was able to type it out. The only thing that I disliked was the fact that the essays were a lot longer than usual. I LOVED this test!! Thumbs up!
Also i liked that you could put in what you thought and your own answer. and in the first thing i typed i miss spelled they i put in hey.
i don't like it because i know there is a lot of reading on the test but i would rather have it on paper because it doesn't hurt my eyes.
I liked the test because instead of bubbling answers you can write them and sure there long but its more easier to answer with. The only problem is that The questions are a bit more confusing.
