[quote=Anonymous]This is true. However, there are numerous OTHER problems with the Math SOLs this year. -Minimum passing scores were raised just above the existing levels, which affects a huge number of kids on the right side of the curve -Less than 30 days warning from the State BOE about the passing scores -The "technology-enhanced" SOLs involve drop-down tools that are especially hard for small children to master -The question formats have been heavily revised (not necessarily a bad thing), and apart from a small number of sample questions that the State BOE supplied without model answers, there were no informational releases to local schools AT ALL [quote=Anonymous]The technology enhanced questions on the test were "Field Test" questions. Students were made aware of the changes they would be seeing on the test and were given multiple opportunities to practice on EPat and use the online tools.[/quote][/quote]
