Then you have the abnormailities like me where testing(SAT, IQ Tests etc) would completeley belie my performance, and my performance(grades) in HS would belie my abilities to perform in college. In other words I performed very well on tests but not so good in the classroom(2.0 GPA and below), yet in college I have a 3.75 GPA. I will say though I have matured quite a bit since HS.
How about that? Someone who didn’t cram for HS tests ends up learning from the mistakes made on them, and remembers those facts forever.
How about that?
Anyone else remembers the Osteichythes classification?
from 9th grade?
Cram for the test and forget it by Finals. What a concept - real learning...
Does this make the case for more and stricter standardized national testing methodology?
Or returning the SAT to it’s pre 70s state?
Why was it changed to begin with? To more accurately relflect... what?
It failed at that? - Change it back.
Well, there's still hope for you (to return to your natural state) when you retire. ;-)
