Write down you first reaction to the CMTs: -My first reaction was," oh great " but after a while i just got used to it.

What was on the test that was unfamiliar?- Some of the questions in the science portion were new to me.

Do you believe that a child's intelligence and skills can be measured by standardized tests?- No because some kids can show more intelligence in a hands-on approach.

Is it a fair way of classifying/grading all children?- Yes because everybody should be graded equally and nobody should get extra points or a point loss.

Does it have a positive impact on your education?- No because it is just all review in a different form, a more in depth and strict form

Does it accurately measure what you learned?- Yes it questions you on past work and studies that have benn given.

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. My test would be sort-of like the cmt's but more like a hands on approach that would last for 3 days and the questions would be general knowledge.
