exactly one time i would've benefitted from more time on a test, and it was a test question on a unit we didn't get to in class, but i might have been able to work it out from first principles if i had all day instead of a couple hours (and assuming i cared enough to try, which i recall not being the case at the time).
Right so you get where I'm coming from! These test timers are not necessary. We're just adding stress for no gain. The only reasonable argument for them is that there are a lot of tests to do and they don't want to spend too long on them but I'm convinced 95%+ people will finish the tests in a reasonable time and quietly leave one by one.
i suppose there's an implicit time limit on regular tests in secondary school because there's another class using the room in an hour but you can just Scotty it and give students that hour to do a test you expect to take 20 minutes..
Or just let some students stay seated and run over into the next one. As long as people are silent entering and exiting the hall does it matter if different tests are overlapping? If there is no time limit on the tests then the minor disturbance of new testers coming in is less intrusive as that disturbance doesn't actually cost the tester any time against a limit.
ah i meant a situation where the incoming class is a lecture or whatever normal instruction
Ahh i've not really got experience with that, all our testing is done in gym halls. Never classrooms.
