Semester Tests


I have far too many tests to give this year, and I only hope that I set them to be just about the right time. My principal has set our tests to a timed hour-and-a-half, and I just hope I got the number about right. All of my tests have response sections and one "extended response" section, where students should write at least three paragraphs in that one section. I also have ninety questions apiece. I'm thinking that I should go back and make the last ten or so optional, because the test is very long for ninety minutes with ninety questions plus four writing sections. I guess I just got nervous and overshot it again, but I'd rather have too much to do than not enough.
