[quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m not arguing about kids in different states. I’m talking about two kids in the same school who both get a 1470/1520. One gets perfect verbal and 5 math wrong and is NMSF. The other gets perfect math and 5 verbal wrong and is commended. Yes, that is the system that is set up. But that doesn’t mean it’s right or fair.[quote][/quote] It is fair and equitable since students know the weights given to different types of questions. As an example, a fill in the blank question response vs. an essay response may have different weights thus a strategic thinking student using brain power will apportion time and effort to attain the highest score. Since the verbal and math attributes have different weights part of assessment is the capability to understand and grasp this concept thereby making appropriate adjustments. That’s an inherent part of the test. Some get it and others don’t. C’est la vie![/quote]
