What I have discovered is what they value more than anything is their time. Requiring them to come after school to retest may be just the trick. <br /><br />I am curious if you do a "reteach" with them and when/how? I could require them to come in to re-take the test for up to an 80, but of those that are failing the test to begin with, only a fraction of them will care to study the 2nd time around.Katie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07979823619340108548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-66652054049699222082010-12-22T12:45:49.225-06:002010-12-22T12:45:49.225-06:00Wow!

I know you posted this new testing methodology a while back but, could you point me to that post or refresh my memory as to what the process is. I just finished grading the finals I gave in Algebra II and the class averages ranged from 68% to 72%. I was so disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
