[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grader at a "W" school is panicking while preparing. She has a strong A average in her honors biology class but only got a 69 on the MISA practice test. Some of what is on the test is physics -- material they haven't even learned (perhaps because she is taking bio this year!). How can they make the score on this test count for 20 percent of the second semester grade in the course. It seems really unfair. She's done "A" work in class all year and may see her average dragged down to a "B" or even a "C" if she has a bad day on a test that the teacher has ill-prepared them for.[/quote] This is no different than taken a final exam or AP exam.[/quote] AP exams don't affect GPA, and have well documented curriculum. Final exams don't exist anymore, and when they did, they were part of the class, not imposed by some uncoordinated third-party . [/quote]
