Need time

It takes time to create a good test. AP takes 2-3 years to write 1 test.

American History Standards

I noticed many of the standards had only 1 question. It's hard to draw conclusions about our teaching from that. But, there are so many standards, it is hard to have multiple questions.

Study Guides!

Those students who actually took advantage of the study guides (filled them out and brought copies) told me they were very helpful, so thanks for preparing those and I think it was a good decision to let the kids use them.

Calculators for EPF

2025-01-02 14:32:55 UTC

Having standardized sets of calculators for EPF like the Math finals would ensure a level playing field.

Field Tests

2025-01-02 14:33:53 UTC

Students shouldn't see the exams for the first time during finals week. These questions should be field-tested throughout the year to get this data earlier.

Scripts

I felt naked without having a script to read and worried if I gave the exams fairly to all my classes. EOC style scripts would be great to have, especially for the BT's.
