Common Core, College and Career Readiness, Quality Core - Oh My!

So here I am trying to be a teacher leader, implementing common core, and all that but I have come to a very precarious situation that makes me want to close my computer, open my file cabinet, and get out the 30 copies of last year's exam that I know I have stashed away. I am trying to create an end of semester exam that will help my students prepare for their end of course Quality Core Exam while assessing the standards we have emphasized this semester BUT . . . I cannot find any great educator, or even ACT the publisher, that has already aligned Common Core (or our very own Alabama College and Career Readiness Standards)to the ACT Quality Core standards. So here is my dilemma - I either A) Go on creating my Exam and cross my fingers that none of the correct answers are things I haven't taught yet or B) Align the standards myself and then work from there. This is exactly what I get for exploring too much. Sometimes I really envy those who can sit back, teach what they think the students need to know, and just wait for some test to be mandated down to them. Oh education gods. . . why do you give us standards, tests with different standards, and not even a cheat sheet to give the kids a fighting chance. I'm leaning toward A with a go at B over the Christmas Break!
