[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot pause in the middle of a question.[/quote]

Actually you can. You just don't finish it and then come back the next day and resume. In our school many students  took days to finish the test. Not that it matters one way or another, except make some students think that they are competitive when they are not.  The way many standardized tests are set up - SAT, ACT, APs -  you are supposed to be able to answer a set amount of questions in a given finite time.  [b]Many students who score high in MAP in MCPS are doing poorly on these standardized exams because they have not really mastered the content and concepts.[/b]  Perhaps we need to give all of them IEPs for life?  Being an MCPS student is a disability at times, is it not?[/quote]

Where are you getting this data to draw this conclusion?  From the MAP student reports MCPS students' scores are only slightly higher than the national average and there are not that many high scorers. Are you saying that the few MCPS high scorers (95%+) are not doing well on SAT tests?  The same kids that do well on MAP do well on PARCC according to research (https://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/reports/2016/PARCC%20and%20MAP%20linking%20study%20report%202016_6_15.pdf), which doesn't allow days to complete the test.  Very few students score high on PARCC in MCPS.  Your claim doesn't hold based on available data.  See the following from the research report linked above:

"Although PARCC and the college admission tests do not measure exactly the same content in a similar subject area, the correlational analyses and regression analyses showed that there was a moderate and significant relationship between PARCC tests and corresponding SAT/ACT subtests."
