[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truth is, more time on a (proctored, closed book) standardized test doesn’t make you smarter or enable you to know more. It just gives people a chance to show what they already know/can do. [/quote] No way. Extra time would help everyone. Timed tests are much more stressful and require you to think quickly in less than ideal ways. I guarantee you that I would absolutely score higher if I had extra time. [/quote] Then the solution to that problem is keep the test the same length and give everybody more time/enough time. Colleges aren’t looking for speed. Personally, more time would drive me batty. And too much time would probably decrease the scores of second-guessers and kids who see ambiguity.[/quote]
