[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Testing companies like Pearson aren't stupid - they run the results through sophisticated software for psychometric analysis and can determine from the responses if there are questions that are ambiguous where there is no right answer, or where there is more than one right answer.  Similarly they can determine a lot of other things, such as logical distractors, whether cheating has occurred and so on.

Most of the comments being posted seem to have a profound naivete about testing.[/quote]

This is from the Smarter Balance test people for the state test being used in Michigan.

[b] I double checked on the Michigan practice site; and this is absolutely on the practice test.[/b]
  I defy anyone to tell me what the answers to these "question" are.

Prepare to go down in flames, Common Core supporters!!!  [/quote]

How did you double-check this?

Also, in what way does a bad question on a Smarter Balanced test mean that the Common Core standards are bad?[/quote]
