At the end of May 2013, following its first pilot test for students, Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium followed up
on its previous releases of sample Common Core assessment questions
with new batches for grades 3 through 8 and grade 11, in the form of online practice exams.
SBAC has since tweeted (read: crowed) unceasingly about these practice exams...
...and retweeted as well anyone else who’s mentioned the exams...
...in a positive light.
