[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach an AP class, so all my tests mirror the AP format or part MC, part FR. I know that for the AP test students have about 2.25 minutes per MC question and about 12 minutes per free response.

My test yesterday was 16 MC and 2 FR. Should be 36 minutes for MC and 24 for FR. We reviewed at the front of the block and I gave students 70 minutes to work through it (a little wiggle room since it’s still early in the year).

For my 1.5x kids (I don’t have any double time) I take away the last FR question. That makes 48+18 =64 minutes expected and 70 minutes given. They come back same day during lunch or after school to do the remaining 18 minute FR.

I used to give the whole test and let them save their extra time for where they needed it, but the cheating was rampant. I ended up with kids intentionally delaying completion so they could google things and come back and fix mistakes. No more.[/quote]
GASP! Does that mean you're "teaching to the test"?  :shock:
