[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked, shocked I say, that extra time results in better scores. Some are legit, some are phony.[/quote] Few studies have focused solely on the impact of time on standard administrations (Bridgeman et al., 2004; Wild and Durso, 1979). Bridgeman et al. report in a recent study on the impact of speededness on the SAT that the verbal section was only slightly speeded, affecting performance by less than 10 points on the SAT scale. The mathematics section was slightly more speeded, impacting performance by approximately 20 points. This effect was more pronounced for high-ability students. Decreasing speededness provided absolutely no benefit to low-ability students. The Impact of Extended Time on SAT® Test Performance Ellen B. Mandinach, Brent Bridgeman, Cara Cahalan-Laitusis, and Catherine Trapani [/quote]
