[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was easier to do with the paper version for various reasons. It is still possible with hard work, but I think a waste of time for your kid. If your kid has the metrics, the coach will push your kid. Get a tutor and try to bring it up 100 points.[/quote] Why was the paper version easier?[/quote] With the paper version, the scoring is very transparent and easier to detect and correct problem areas. If you took the test, you could receive a report detailing which questions you got wrong. With the longer test and more questions, each question was weighted less. With the digital version, scoring is more of a mystery. You don’t know how much each question is weighted. You cannot find out what you got wrong. You can only find out your range of score in categories such as geometry. The range of score is extremely broad for someone trying to pick up points in various areas as are the categories themselves. Thus, you are likely having to study much grader content in the past to improve. An athlete simply doesn’t have time to devote to this format.[/quote]
