What's standriz.... what you're talking about??

I hate them too, we have to take two to four every year because our district believes the more tests you take, the better you'll do on SATs later, which makes sense I guess. It still sucks. We use ITBS, CAT, NWEA, and SEPAT. The last three don't take too long though, maybe one or two hours stretched through the week. I may be forgetting one and two of those are the same test, I can't remember, I only had to take two this year.

Actually... I kind of like testing. You don't have hw or other assignments due, you just have to put down what you know. Also, I think we get out of school early during testing.

That's partly why I like these tests. I'm not that smart, but I sure do know how to take a test.

I still don't know what it is, but if you don't want to tell I don't want to know.

They are these tests where everyone gets asked the same questions.. it usually tests on all of your abilities.. and you have to use pencil and fill in the little bubbles.

There Angrist.

Thanks. And what's the purpose, is it for school? How often do you have those?? When?

GameKinG · 05-05-2002, 03:03 PM

Its to evaluate how much you know (or at least it helps somewhat).
