[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a solution for timed tests: Offer a choice - a timed or untimed test. Each child can decide which to take and which one will give them the best advantage. Like choosing between the ACT and SAT, let the kids decide which will give them the best relative scores. Then colleges can look at those test relative to the others that are timed or untimed. [/quote] :roll: [/quote] Why is this eye-roll worthy? Extra time is the main point of contention. If you are a kid who does well and has good recall, then a timed test will make more sense for you. Your score might be a smidge lower than if you took the untimed version, but the colleges will know what version you took so you'd be judged accordingly. If taking more time helps you a lot, then you take the untimed one and are evaluated only against everyone else who took the untimed one. [/quote]
