[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this 6 hours? Each elementary test takes about 1 hour to complete.[/quote]
Not true. I know of a few kids who spent the entire school day (except lunch) on their math SOL at my child's ES.[/quote]

Yes my dd spent 4.5 hours on her math SOL yesterday.  She carefully rechecks each answer.  She brought her lunch with her to the test.  She's in 4th grade.  She said another kid spent even longer.  [/quote]

Do you or your DD feel that is too long for her to be working on something?  Seems like no 9 yr. old should have to focus for 4.5 hrs.  Just wondering if your child is fried or if she is just exceedingly cautious in answering and not feeling pressured for 4.5 hrs.

Interestingly, both of my kids (one a girl and the other a boy) said that it is mostly the girls in their class who take "forever" to complete the SOLs b/c they go back and check and check and check.  Made me wonder if girls don't really need more time, but they need more confidence to believe they are right![/quote]
