cmt's+qeustions+ugh

Write down you first reaction to the CMTs:My first reaction was OMG another year of CMTs.Also how much I hate them.

What was on the test that was unfamiliar? Nothing really I pretty much remembered it all.

Do you believe that a child's intelligence and skills can be measured by standardized tests? no because most people get nervous taking tests and always bomb them.

Is it a fair way of classifying/grading all children? No it is not becaus ethey are doing the same level of work for people who are on diffrent levels.

Does it have a positive impact on your education? No its just a test and your really not learning anything just reveiwing what you already know.

Does it accurately measure what you learned? No becaus eit measures all the years of work and most people forget half of it by the time they take the test over and over again.

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. I really wouldn't want to make a test but if i had to it would be a one day 45 minute test. It would conssit of only things that we were learning that year because we already had tests for those other years.It would also have sections of math ,reading and science.They woiuld be easy but hard questions and mostly all multiple choice because those are easy to do and faster to do.Each section would only be like 5 pages each and about 20 questions each.
