Is this the new Common Core test you're writing about?  I wonder how many college English teachers will take a look at the online practice tests?  I wonder if there is someone to complain to?  As an 8th grade teacher, I am very concerned about the test.

I agree! It's depressing to see how often a standardized assessment will include confusing questions. I recently took the online practice test for a 6th grade reading test, and according to the answer key, a bunch of my answers were wrong . . . except that they weren't. Not to sound egotistical, but if a college English teacher with a Ph.D. has trouble identifying the right answers on a 6th grade test, something is wrong with the test.
