Hi guys!!! As some of you guys know the New York ELA Test starts this week on Tuesday.
I'm not a fan of the test, but it helps you see how good you have done this year. The test is a good way to measure children. Without the test, children with problems would be in a grade that they aren't supposed. The child would struggle in school. Children would bully or make fun of the child because they are struggling. During the school year we do a lot of work. Should we just throw away everything we learned or see how good we did?
The tests are hard for some children, but that doesn't mean they can't try. I know no one likes tests, from kids to adults. But in the future and you're going to have hard tests, such as the Bar Exam to become a lawyer. The test is 60 minutes, but they give you 90 minutes. That is plenty of time. Some kids get extra time, which I believe is 2 hours and 30 minutes. There is a lot of time, so why not use it.
The test is three days long. I have a issue with what we have on each day for a few reasons. One the first day we have a few texts and multiple choice questions, I'm fine with that. I don't really like the second day because it's everything, including multiple choice, extended response, and short responses, why can't we have that on the 3rd or 1st day. The third day is extended and short responses. May they could put day 1 and 3 together.
Honestly, as a student I say I HATE THE TESTS!!! I wish they could decide all this stuff off our real grades. If you still have time left is really boring waiting. It feels like the is sooooooooooooo SLOW!!! It is a good thing we don't have homework this week. That is what think about the tests.
