Found a Tolstoy question in the slideshow comparing different states' NCLB tests (see slide#7).
Quite the softball they gave him to start off with, LOL! wink

I can better understand the teachers' concerns since starting a test this way could throw a ND child for quite a loop. I would have expected the questions to start off easy and gradually increase in level of difficulty.
