[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this 6 hours? Each elementary test takes about 1 hour to complete.[/quote]

Uh, no.  Not even close.

- Grades 3 and 4 Reading each have [b]47[/b] questions.  It is EXTREMELY unlikely that a student could read all those passages and answer 47 questions in one hour.
- Grade 3 math has [b]50[/b] questions.  It is very unlikely that a student could complete 50 questions in one hour.
- Grades 4, 5, and 6 (non-CAT grade 6 that is) math each have [b]60[/b] questions.  It is very unlikely that a student could complete 60 questions in one hour.
- Grade 5 Reading has [b]50[/b] questions.  It is EXTREMELY unlikely that a student could read all those passages and answer 50 questions in one hour.
- Grade 6 Reading has [b]55[/b] questions.  It is EXTREMELY unlikely that a student could read all those passages and answer 55 questions in one hour.[/quote]

They are multiple choice questions. I know our school only has them during the morning session before lunch which is at 11:00 and everyone is done by then, so it's not taking them 6 hours typically to take these tests. There's only one test a day and they are each graded separately, so you'd only get a call about the test or tests that a child didn't pass.[/quote]
