end of testing
i've been testing all this week and i feel good that it's over and done with now. We reviewed everything on monday and tuesday we took the first of our new state exit level test, the TAKS test.
Our exit level test used to be the TAAS test and consisted of only reading, writing, and math. Passing all three between your junior and senior years of high school meant you would graduate. This year, the class of 2004 was the last graduating class to take the TAAS test. They changed it to TAKS and made us, the class of 2005 (which is the best class by the way) their guinea pigs (spell check!!!). We are the first class to ever take this as the exit level test. it now consists of English Language Arts, Math, Science and History. Since we are the first class, we are the ones that set the standard for future TASK test testers.
It was pretty easy. We had taken several practice ones before and that set the standards for us. We have to answer 25 or so questions right out of 70 or so. But then, 10 of the questions don't mean crap so if we got 25 right but 10 were the ones that don't count, we only got 15 right. So in reality, we have to get about 35 right.
So yeah, on Tuesda we took our math test. That was the one that took me the longest. I finished at around 2:15. I think i passed it. On Wednsday we took the scince. i finished at around 11:30. I'm pretty sure i failed that one. Then yesterday, we took the history. That was the easiest one. I finished at around 11:00. The language arts one we took in february. The only one that i'm certain that i didn't pass was the scince. i think that half the school thinks they didn't pass it.
What sux is that if we don't pass it, we have to take remedial classes during the summer and retest during the summer also. What sux even more is that the number of questions required to answer right goes up with every time the test is taken.
So hopefully i passed all of them but i'm not so certain about the scince.

Sorry if i bored ya'll with my testing rant but i had to get it outta mai system ^.^

BAI!

Lata diaz, & lotsa luv,
