[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize your test is not in multiple choice form for the "why".  You also must realize that a test on the standards will take hours?[/quote]

What is your point? Must the tests be in multiple choice form? Who says? And why would a test on the standards have to take hours? How many hours? Two hours? Ten hours? 100 hours?

Anybody would think, from reading this, that nobody has ever taken a standardized test before, let alone designed one.[/quote]

The PP you are replying to has, I believe, a child who is learning disabled in the verbal area and cannot write well.   Asking children with dysgraphia to write an answer like "2 tens plus 5 tens = 7 10s" is sheer torture to such children; I know, because my child had a writing difficulty in 2nd grade though not as bad as to be labeled dysgraphia.

This standard should also be able to be measured by students responding orally.   You don't need to ask the question hundreds of times, tough, just enough to be sure they get the concept.[/quote]
