[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if some of the "clustering" of the SAT at/near the 1600 boundary might be reduced (and thus add useful information) by eliminating superscoring and restricting the number of test to some threshold (e.g. three testing events). Seems like an easier maneuver to implement than full blown test redesign.[/quote] Why have any super scoring or retakes? In other countries with standardised testing, there isn’t any (eg UK, Australia). Isn’t this just a way for the companies to increase their revenue? If people do the test 2-3 times then that means the company gets 2 to 3 times the fees. To prepare for the tests, students could just do practice test instead.[/quote] +1, you mess up- boohoo. It is better for us to accurately assess student than letting them retest infinitely[/quote]
