[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SOLs are so ridiculously easy. They are for the lowest common denominator. If a kid can’t pass them they need help. [/quote]

Posters regurgitate this without knowing what they are talking about.  The SOLs aren't easy.  Every few years, VDOE adjusts the difficulty up or down and we're in an up period.[/quote]

Yea they are. That’s why most kids can pass them.[/quote]

Well, yes.  They are supposed to measure that kids have learned what they are supposed to learn in the school year.  And most kids do.  That's good. It doesn't necessarily mean the test is easy - it means the test is accurate.  [/quote]

It’s literally all multiple choice which is basically a recognition test. Recognitions tests are significant easier than recall tests, where you’d have to write in your own answer or even write an essay. There is no recall involved. It is absolutely meant to be easy. Accurate is totally different. Many people actually feel it’s not accurate. Too many of one question or too many different topics. [/quote]

This is what really gets me about DCUM the spread of inaccurate information. It is not all multiple-choice, it’s closer to two-thirds of the questions are multiple-choice. [/quote]
