By lunch time, twice as many students in 801 needed more writing time Day 2 (7 MC and short answers) compared to Day 1 (MC only). They seemed to be really focused on getting all of the points for writing responses. Majority seemed to use the R.A.C.E. writing strategy.
Overall, many students thought the test was "easy" or "light work".
Testing site says that parents can request to see their child's exam booklets once the scoring is complete. We as a school may want the opportunity to see for ourselves how certain students answered certain questions once the exams are released.
