[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you know the answer, why does it matter how fast you can write it down? How often does anyone in the real world even use a pencil anymore? Who has a job that requires perfectly filling in little circles with a No.2 pencil? Why do they still have to fill in the g-dmnd little circles in a timed setting?[/quote] C’mon. Which kid is smarter? The kid who can read all those boring passages and answer the questions in 40 minutes? Or the one who needs extra time? That’s why it’s timed. ACT is moving toward computer based testing, and I fear it’s going to be a disaster. [/quote] Give them [b]both [/b]60 minutes and there are many LD kids who will blow your average kid out of the water. And that's what you're all afraid of. You all should be careful what you ask for. The tests should not be timed for anyone. [/quote] I don’t think anyone’s afraid of this. Most kids will do BETTER with extra time. [/quote]
