DC Assessments | Tutorials

The purpose of these tutorials is to demonstrate the navigation and tools available for Computer-Based Assessments. The items appearing in these tutorials are samples used to allow students and educators to gain familiarity with the technology platform that will be used for PARCC ELA/L and Math and DC Science assessments.

Wait! Before you start, does your computer, laptop, or tablet have what it takes? The PARCC ELA/L and Math and DC Science assessment works with many devices and browsers, but not all. Find out the technology guidelines here.

Teachers: These tutorials were created to familiarize students and educators with the PARCC ELA/L and Math and DC Science assessments. Educators and students are encouraged to work together when using the tutorials. It may be helpful for educators to review the tutorials with students before they begin working independently.
