 The following sites are especially important for those students who will be tested on the computer...they need exposure to how they can highlight, use the option eliminator, erase, use the scratch pad, type directly on a "test" (not in Word), and mark for review. 
 
Here are examples of the extended constructed response questions. These samples will help your student deconstruct the questions & prompts as well as learn how to respond to the prompts.
