[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize your test is not in multiple choice form for the "why".  You also must realize that a test on the standards will take hours?[/quote]

What is your point? Must the tests be in multiple choice form? Who says? And why would a test on the standards have to take hours? How many hours? Two hours? Ten hours? 100 hours?

Anybody would think, from reading this, that nobody has ever taken a standardized test before, let alone designed one.[/quote]

The PP you are replying to has, I believe, a child who is learning disabled in the verbal area and cannot write well.   Asking children with dysgraphia to write an answer like "2 tens plus 5 tens = 7 10s" is sheer torture to such children; I know, because my child had a writing difficulty in 2nd grade though not as bad as to be labeled dysgraphia.

[b]This standard should also be able to be measured by students responding orally.[/b]   You don't need to ask the question hundreds of times, tough, just enough to be sure they get the concept.[/quote]

OK, that's fine.
