Common Core Assessments and Online Workbooks: Grade 3 Mathematics: PARCC Edition

We used this and other PARCC practice workbooks for my daughter. She did well in the tests and said that the practice books really helped her understand the questions in the PARCC tests. Would recommend the English version as well.

The practice test workbook is useful. Since the PARCC was a brand new test for everyone, no one knew what to expect. It's good to have the practice tests so my 9yo has an idea what this test's about. The online practice tests are fun. My son liked the questions and did it well. He took the PARCC about 3 weeks ago. The tests took part in two days. Each lasted 75 minutes. My son said the first day test was long and difficult to him. He finished the test about 90%. The second day was easier and within his level. He finished the test without difficulty. His teacher claimed that it was pretty much the same feeling from his classmates. My son said the questions in the tests were similar to the workbook's, but some questions were longer and more difficult than the workbook's.

The workbooks are okay but the website keeps crashing between practice sessions. For the past two days I can barely get to the website and if I do it's timed out or doesn't for most times do anything at all!!!! pretty frustrating. My child had to retake tests several times as the webpage kept going into an error while submitting tests. I emailed the support team and there's been no reply.

Recently purchased Lumos Learning books for both Mathematics and ELA for PARCC preparation for my 3rd grade kid from Amazon. He loves going through the material and what was most appealing to him was the online workbooks that are made available. With PARCC now online, this gives better practise than using paper and pen, and better simulation of the actual test. I would recommend this to all, for enriched learning and preparation for the PARCC.

This workbook is a great resource for preparing students for the new PARCC. We are able to put practice questions on the Smart Board and go over with the whole class or put students on the classroom computers to practice on their own.

Workbook is good& helped my kid to get exam practice experience. I tried online tool , I feel it should be more user friendly

The online practice wouldn't work. I was not able to log in. After so many attempts, I just walked away from it. The workbook itself is good though. But I didn't buy it just for the workbook. I bought it for online practice purposes, and therefore 3 stars.

It's nice to be able to use the online workbooks, my son likes it.
