CMT+Question+thinggg!!

**Write down you first reaction to the CMTs:** When it was time for the CMT's and we started to do practice in Mr. Nagel's class I was very mad that this year we had science CMTs. In Mrs. Deleon's class I was very mad too because I don't like to read. Then last in Mr. Scursso's class when we had to do the math CMT reveiw i was even more mad because in some of them you dont get to use calculators.

On the reading one it asked if the article was a list of feelings or opinions and other choices and i do not think i remember doing that,but that was about it i thought that the other stuff was pretty familiar. Do you believe that a child's intelligence and skills can be measured by standardized tests?
 * What was on the test that was unfamiliar?**

No,I do not think that those tests are a good way of testing children because what if the child wa absent the day that one of those lessons was taught and they didnt know anything about it when the test came or the student can just be having a very bad day.
 * Is it a fair way of classifying/grading all children?**

No, because a kid might be having a bad day and get a really bad grade.
 * Does it have a positive impact on your education?**

No, because a student might have not been comfartable with one certain area of the test and failed it.
 * Does it accuratly measure what you learned?**


 * If you were to design a test to accurately measure a students knowledge...what would be on it, what type of questions, subjects, how many days,etc.. Be very, very complete here.**

Some questions that i would put only questions that we learned this year on the test because soem children forget the material that they covered in previous years.I would put an even amount of hard questions easy questions and medium questions.The subjects i would put ont there would be Math,Language Arts,Science and Social Studies because everyone needs to know about their surroundings and government and different cultures. My testing proccess would probably take 3 weeks, because i would let people start the math test and if they finish they can go on to the Language Arts and etc. so they dont just have to wait around and they can work at their own pace and they would get 60 minutes a day instead of sometimes it taking longer and sometimes shorter days.
