CLARB: If you’re listening in, consider adding some descriptive content to the LARE Orientation Guide about the interface if you are no longer able to provide a demo.

I’ve got a question about the computer interface for multiple choice sections. CLARB no longer has a sample on its web site and the $30, 30 minute test drive session at Prometrix isn’t convenient.

Thanks for the invite Mike! I’m excited about this group.

Scores for the June 2011 Graphic administration have been posted on the CLARB website.  Please contact Rebecca Moden at modenr@clarb.org if you need assistance accessing or viewing your scores.
