[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]

Interesting that you take away a question. I also teach an AP class and offer extended time at lunch or after school. Cheating is definitely an issue with extended time because kids have time to google answers. If possible, I give extended time students portions of the test rather than all at once.
Giving them a shorter test is intriguing but also seems tricky because FRQs range in complexity. It doesn’t seem fair to take away a hard frq or an easy one either. Something in the middle would be fine I guess [/quote]
