[quote=Anonymous]The simple solution would be to create tests without time pressure. Just add whatever the extra time increment is to the scheduled session and let everybody have access to it. I guess this would also mean you couldn't separately time the various subsections. Or maybe you administer the test on both timetables and give kids the choice. Fast reaction times matter in some contexts (driving race cars) but where college admissions are concerned, the difference between being able to answer a math or reading question in 1 vs 1.5 minutes has no practical relevance. Give people the time they need to answer the questions regardless of why they need the time. It's not as if a kid who can answer a multiple choice question quickly will somehow do better on the test if she has more time to answer that question. [/quote]
