[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, but if it's for curriculum evaluation only and doesn't affect the individual child, then filling in bubbles for unanswered questions is counter-productive. Guessing may make sense, but random filling in does not. [/quote] 9:12 here, PP, I see your point in the fact that it may result in false correct answers. However, 1) I viewed the strategy as teaching my DCs test taking techniques in what is the beginning of a long line of standardized tests (it’s opposite of the SSATs, SATs); 2) all of the kids are using the same strategy (my kids were instructed by their school to fill in the unfinished answers), so although it may result in false corrects, all of the kids are on the same playing field; and 3) the kids do talk about their scores, so ultimately you want your child to do the best and feel good about themselves. Lastly, believe it or not, parents will call you and ask for your child’s score![/quote]
