[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior regularly takes tests that are longer than 45 minutes. The one year he had math in the daily 45 minute block, the tests were spread over 2 days. Which fine, but really opens up even further opportunities for cheating which is already a problem. For the AP classes that involve writing, it's impossible to do writing tasks as given on the AP test in 45 min. Meaning if your exam is a DBQ or LEQ, when are you ever practicing these or being tested on this? I wonder how HB handles this. [/quote] Well how did the high schools handle this before block scheduling? It hasn't always been this way. [/quote] 1. AP tests have changed. 2. The number of APs offered and typical amount taken by students has dramatically increased. 3. Back in “our day” the classes were often not just 45 minutes which isn’t very long. I know in my high school it was 55 minute periods. I think 45 is too short and 90 is too long. [/quote]
