This week and next, the pencils meet the paper - and the fingertips the keys - as more than 4,500 Bulloch County students in third through eighth grades take the Georgia Milestones test for the first time. Over time, Milestones will be a major departure from the Criterion Referenced Competency Tests it replaces. The new test brings new types of questions, which students are expected to answer in their own words.
