The thing i find most concerning is....why must we take such a simple, easy, and pointless test? Those are the states standards? huh. Never knew we were so dumb.
I am not concerned about anything for the CMT's . They come naturally to me and I don't really worry too much about them. I think the easiest part of the whole test is the editing and revising. This is because we had 60 minutes to complete it and that was more than enough time for me to do it and check over my answers. also, if you pay attention while reading the passages, you can find the mistakes made and mentally correct them. It makes it easier to answer the questions.
The subject that I think will be the easiest for me is math because of how simple it is to me. Math has been my best subject for years, and I'm in college prep algebra, so I will probably know everything in that subject. Also, unlike in reading and writing where I might not understand some words, I always understand numbers and the equations I learned so far. So, math for me is a piece of cake.
I think that math might be the hardest for me because I haven't done regular math in so long. Doing algebra the whole year, I almost forgot how to do simple things like subtracting big numbers. Therefore, I am not used to math, and I think that it could be hard because I haven't done it in a long time.
the cmts are important as finals at the end of the year but as anoying as teh anoying orange. although we get less homework, wehave to come in and take a test depending on the day. plus highschool placements are comming up.
I am not concerned about the CMT’s because I end up having more than enough time to complete them. For example: so far, I have finished 10 minutes before (or more) the time was up. In addition, I do not rush; I take my time and check it over thoroughly. Most people in my class also finish before the time is up. Therefore, since I can take my time and check the test over with time left, I am not concerned about them.
If I had to choose I would have to say the science because its basically you learn something and you move on..you dont tend to use older information in new things such as math. The basic skills you learn for math such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Because these skills are used all through out math, math is not a subject that i tend to worry about unlike science.
The easiest part of CMTs for me, is math because it is mostly made up of problems we learned years ago, so the whole math portion is just a review. On the math CMTs they ask simple questions like find the next number in the pattern or find the percent of a given number..., material which we have been learning since the sixth grade. Therefore, the math portion of the CMTs is the easiest for me because it’s just one big review of things that we have been learning and reviewing for years.
The easiest part of the CMTs are Edit and Revision because the questions given are very easy to find an answer to and we were given 60 minutes to complete the whole test leaving alot of extra time to go back and look for errors in our answers therefore edit and revision is the easiest in CMTs.
I'm not worried about the CMTs. In fact, I rather like them because we get little to no homework. In math, I normally get like 45 minutes of homework, but during the CMTs I've been getting like 15 minutes. Since I get less work, I'm happy.
I think that the easiest part of the CMTs are Math because the questions are very obvious. The answers to the problems would not have to be exact, you could round and choose the answer closest to your solution. You are also able to use a calculator to do the basic math for you, all you need to know are the steps to do the problems. Therefore, math is the easiest part of the CMTs because it allows you to guess and use a device to do math for you.
A subject that im most concerned about for the CMTs is science because you dont spend along time on one part. You just learn it quickly and they expect you to know it. There are many different things to cover on the sciece test. I think LA is the easiest on the CMTs because you can go back in the story for eveidence.
I think the science section on CMTs are the hardest. A lot of the material on the CMTs is different from what we are actually learning in class. To prep for CMTs, we have to try to learn a completely different subject from what we have been previously studying. Therefore, the science part of the CMTs are the hardest because it sometimes can get confusing. Most of the time, we have to remember which material we are learning in regular science class, or the material we are learning to prep for CMTs
i cant believe all these people take cmt seriously. seriously people? are you guys all really gunna put the word "hard" and "cmt" in the same sentence together?...huh
The only part of the CMTs that I am concerned about is the science CMT because we haven't had one in a while. For example, the last time that we had a science CMT was either 5th or 6th grade so because we have covered so much between then an now, it will be very difficult. Therefore, I am most concerned about the science CMT.
I never worry about the cmt's. So long as you pay attention in class half the time you'll know all you need. The easiest part is the cloze, I finished in 20 minutes, all you need to know is how to read.
I think that the science is the hardest part. Science I think is harder to understand so it is harder. But I do not worry about the CMT's. I just do my best and read through all the questions
The CMT's aren't really anything to worry about if you have ben doing good in school. So far the tests that we have taken have benn really easy. Suprisingly the prompt topic was actually goos usally the topics are very bad to write about. Therefore the I think our school will do really good on the CMT's.
I think the easiest CMT subject is the prompt. The prompt is easiest because you don’t have to answer trick questions, or even think hard. On the prompt all you have to do is brainstorm, write, and revise. It doesn’t get simpler than that
The part of the CMTs that i am most concerned about is science. I dont remember much from this year in science so im a little worried about how i am going to to in this subject. Therefore science is the CMT i am most concerned about.
I think the easiest subject on the CMT is the math tests because it takes less thought than the rest of the tests. On the writing prompt, you have to think about what you are writing or else you won't do well. On the other hand, math doesn't involve as much thought so it is easier.
I am most concerned about the reading comprehension because i struggle with the open ended questions. I have trouble supported my answer and it usually costs me points. On some questions i do fine but others i cant explain well enough. Therefore i am concerned about the reading comp because i dont want to do bad.
I think that the whole cmt test is easy, every single part. What i find concerning is how important they are to everyone and how we have to do all this practice cmt stuff, because THEY ARE EASY. I don't have to study or practice the cmts at all because i find them really easy and they don't stress me out at all. Therefore, since i think that personally the cmts are a peice of cake and i never have to practice or study for them, iam concerned about how much time goes into practicing cmts.
I dont worry about CMT's. I don't worry about them because I find them extremely easy. I find it rediculous that we have to practice That much when they are simple. Therefore I do not worry about CMT's because I find them easy
The most concerning part off the CMTs for me is the science because we have never taken this test before. Without practice there is more stress and when you are stressed it makes thing a lot harder. Also, we don't know exactly whats on the test so you don't know what to expect. Therefore, stress and not knowing what to expect makes the science test the most concerning.
I am not very worried about the CMT's. Most of the answers are common sense and are very easy. Plus we get a lot of time complete each test. For example, on each test i have finished with at least 15 minutes to go. Therefore, since the tests are easy and we get more then enough time to complete each test, i am not worried for the CMT's.
I think the math part of the CMTs is the easist because it is easy to get the answer. As long as you follow you formulas and equations, there's no way you can get the answer wrong. Therefore, I think the math is the easiest part of the CMTs.
I'm not concerned about the CMTs because it is a pointless test. Plus, the CMT questions are really easy. The easiest CMT so far was the editing and revising. They gave you a hour for it but I finished in 20 minutes and that's after I checked over my answers. Therefore, the CMTs are no concern to me and the editing and revising is the easiest part of the test.
The CMT's don't make me nervous nor do they seem pointless to me. I know that CMT's are used for placement and also to prepare you for the CAPT, but what is there really to worry about? You know what you know. Yes, there time consuming but in the end it's worth it. You have shortened periods and get barely any or no homework. I see the CMT's as an opportunity to show the world how much potential you have when everyone doubts that you’re really that smart. That’s just my opinion. To others they might not even try and don't care if they do badly. I always like to aim high. What can I say I’m a competitive person.
I am not concerened about the CMT's because they are not counting towards anything,such as a grade, and we have been taking them since elementary school, so it is not like they are new to us. There is no reason to get stressed over a simple test. There really is no point at all. Even though they may seem like they will go on forever, and every body dreads taking them, there is no reason to be concerened about them. Therefore, CMT's are nothing to be concerened about!
I am also not concerned about anything because I do my best on everything I do and that's all I can really do! Therefore whatever happens happens but I'm not nervous about it! And so far, everything is easy on the test. There honestly hasn't been anything that is so confusing or hard for me. CMT's are great for now!!
I think that the easiest part of the CMTS is the DRP because there are so many strategies that you can use to find the answer. For example, There is the strategy, Read past the blank. This strategy is used a lot because sometimes the sentence doesnt make sense unleess u read on. Therefore the strategies make Drp'S A BREEZE.
I think the easiest section in CMT's was the math section because the problems were not that difficult. For most of them the way you solve it you use the same formula. So, if you know the way to solve the problem it's effortless.
I think the easiest section on the CMT's is the math portion because it has very easy questions that we learned in seventh grade. These problems are very easy to me and on the math CMT session two, I breezed through it in about twenty minutes. Therefore, the easiest CMT we take is the math section.
The easiest part of the CMTs is the close passage. There are many strategies to help you find the answers to the blanks. Therefore even when you don't know what answer would best fit in the blank there are ways to figure it out and help you making it the easiest test on the CMTs.
The easiest part of the CMTs is math and cloze. Math just does not confuse me at all and I always understand it. Cloze is also easy because I learned alot of different strategies on how to find the answer.
CMTs don't make me stress at all. The questions are always very simple and easy to answer. Plus I have been doing them for a good part of my life so I am used to everything about them. Therefore, CMTs aren't a big deal to me and I never worry about taking them.
I'm not concerned about the CMTs. They give us so much extra time and the questions are so easy. They ask stuff we learned about like 2 years ago. Plus we have been taking these same tests since 3rd grade, I think i could recite the instructions without any papers. Therefore since I am just so used to them I don't stress and I am confident I will get high scores.
I dont mind the CMTs because they are so easy. You have all this extra time to read and just relax. Not to mention that you do not get a lot of homework and you have shortened class periods. Therefore its an easy 2 weeks.
I'm not concerned about CMTs because they are not stressful. CMTs are not stressful because they set you up for success. An example of this is when you take the editing and revising section of the CMTs. During this assessment you can read the sentence the question is referring to right above th question rather than having to flip through pages of paper to find the sentence the question refers to. This makes the CMTs easier and your time is spent on answering the question rater than flipping pages.
I'm concerned about the science cmt because I feel like it is going to be the hardest since we only take it every 2 years unlike the other test that we take every year. The one I am least worried about is math because we can use are calculators on all of the but one and it makes it really easy
I am not worried about the CMTs one bit. I have done well on them in previous years and this year is no different. I think that the easiest part of the CMTs would have to be the DRP (cloze) because all you have to fo is fill out forty something blanks. When I read over them I automatically think of a possible word and then bam it is one of the answers. Therefore even though the other tests are easy this one takes #1 for easiest
In the story, Frank's babysitter locks the door, but Frank still gets out. That sneaky cat! At the end of the leprachaun, I mean story, Frank opens the window. Therefore, Frank is an entertaining story.
I think the degrees of reading power was the easiest part of the test because all answers were multiple choice. I tend to struggle with open-ended questions so I found the drp part very easy. Therefore, the drp was the easiest part of the test.
I think that the math section was the easiest because I am in an honors algebra class. I am in an advanced class than what the test was on. Therefore I thought the math part was difficult. The hardest part was the DRP becuase Im not good at those. I have trouble finding which word fits in the blank. Therefore I struggle in that section.
I was not nervous or concerned about anything during the CMTs. The whole year you prepare for them and learn how to do everything correctly. You cannot study for what questions are going to be on the test, so no one needs to stress out about it. Therefore, there is no need to be nervous during the CMTs because everyone should know how to do all the types of questions.
I feel the science CMT is the hardest because we do not have it every year. This is harder because we do not have enough practice for the test. As for the other ones, where we have them every single year. Therefore, the science CMT is the hardest because we do not see the material on it enough.
i was not concerned about cmt's because this year i felt more confident about how i did on the cmt's. For example, i felt that my writing prompt was one of the best writing pieces i have written. So i felt confident that i did good on the cmt's.
This year i think that i did fairly well on the CMT's. I went into the CMT's with confidence and the outcome was a great feeling. I think the whole school did well this year. Nice job everyone. Overall the CMT's this year were not that bad

im concerned about home work but the teachers are being respectful and are laying off on the home work
A thing That is concerning is that the state makes such a big deal on these test if thay didnt make a big deal the cmts would be better
the cmts are important as finals at the end of the year but as anoying as teh anoying orange. although we get less homework, wehave to come in and take a test depending on the day. plus highschool placements are comming up.

To be completely honest, the LA CMT's have been a breeze by for me. I guess all the work in Horvaths class finally paid off.

I have no concerns about the CMT'S. They are usually very simple in all areas of the test. But, I have to say that the DRP section is the easiest.
