To me, and I do not have incredibly strong feelings on the test and no ulterior motive, I think you underscore what some are saying is the problem. A child who got this wrong for picking an equation from the correct  fact family which is the strategy they used to get the correct result looks exactly the same oin results as a child who got this flat out wrong.That seems to obviously mean that children of very different abilities or deficiencies get lumped together. Hence that data is of questionable use/accuracy.[/quote]

I think you are confusing a child using a strategy to get an answer and a child identifying a fact family. The answer was 4 and I believe there was only one equation that the answer was 4. It wasn't like there were several problems that led to an answer of 4.[/quote]

No, I’m not confused about that, though I can see how a child taking the test may be. I could suggest you are confused that “the answer was 4” given that was not an answer choice. We would not necessarily  be having this conversation if the choices were:   A) 7  B) 4  C)2  D) 11. [/quote]
