[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math should not take 5 hours. At most it should take 2. Average is probably 1-1:15. I help administer this test to a middle school of 800 kids. Your student is not proficient or competent at the math if it’s taking that long. It is an adaptive test that provides information on specific skills in math in 4 categories (numeracy and operations, algebraic thinking, measurement and data, and geometry) it helps teachers know what skills are weak and what strengths are and where any gaps are.

This made me laugh, because we had an administrator say the same thing.  She literally was getting almost the highest score possible.  She was taking so long because in 4th grade she was getting questions that were things that her older sister was learning in 8th grade.  She was committed to answering it correctly, and is really good at figuring it out even if she hadn't learned it yet.  She was not the only kid taking so long, and it was ALL the kids in the highest AAP math group at our school.  Not sure why some folks in the school are so confused about this.

Believe me, at home I was counseling her to go ahead and get something wrong if she didn't know it.  But it did not matter what I said to her, she was going to do it her way.[/quote]
