Smarter Balance Test Pilots...Crash or Fly?

Smarter Balance is a test type that is being piloted all over Iowa in both elementary and junior/senior high schools. 
So what do I know so far? 
It is done on computers in a two week time line. 
It has a manual that is 147 pages long.
All students need head phones and no part of the test can be read to the students.
It is not a timed test but recommendations say one week is the plan.
There are 4 types of questions that go from multiple choice to written responses.

Oh I could  go on ... I have 4 pages on notes so far. 

Hope the tech goes as planned.  That is always the issue lately. 

So after the question will be better or worse than Iowa Assessments? 

We will see....
