[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a big fan of accommodations.[/quote] So, my kid with 13th percentile processing speed shouldn't get more time on tests? Why, exactly? [/quote] For the same reason my kid with 13th percentile sprinting speed shouldn't get a 40-meter head start in the 100 meter dash.[/quote] That's a stupid analogy. The 100-meter dash is a competition to run the fastest. Speed is the point. [b]The SAT is an assessment of knowledge.[/b] If you know geometry, it doesn't matter if it takes you 30 minutes to answer a series of geometry questions and not 15. There are lots of areas of study (and professions) that don't require speed.[/quote] Nice try, but it’s not. Otherwise, we would offer everyone an opportunity to complete the SAT in 4-8 hours over 1-2 days. If the test is speed neutral, extra time would give minimal to no advantage to those with a normal processing speed. [/quote]
