[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you explain students faking disabilities for extra time and doing better because of this? It’s not merely college aptitude. Everyone would do better w more time, especially on the ACT. Things are not standardized, unfortunately; and college’s don’t who has had extra time. It tests parental aggressiveness and wealth—who can pay $7k for neurological testing to shady doctors.[/quote] It’s wrong to blame the students and parents for the capricious system for changing the time limits from stupid to reasonable on an individual basis. Thankfully, both SAT and ACT are moving to new formats that are less tests of how the the student handles extreme time pressure, Nothing will fix the problem that you can write one test (or for SAT adaptive test, 2 tests) that accurately sorts students within each of the standard deviation buckets. Different cohorts need different tests, to avoid overtraining bias to the idiosyncrasies of a specific test. [/quote]
