[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retakes are necessary. There are kids with slow-processing, kids with anxiety, kids with spectrum issues, etc. These kids are studying hard for the first test, yet get low grades due to ‘gotcha ya’ questions and tests being worth such few questions. These kids who are poor test takers and who have trouble applying info in a timed setting benefit from a second chance. The problem is with the 90% cap on the retake because it boxes them out of an A. [/quote] Sorry, but that's life. Not everything is easy for everyone, and not everything deserves a retake. If retakes are allowed, the cap should be 70% or maybe 75%. A C is average, so a C should be the cap for retakes.[/quote]
