I don’t ever know what A levels etc. are. One of these days I need to look it up.

mine starts at 8:00 till 3:00

Yes, but the cheerleaders were just normal students, not stuck up and they didn't wear their uniforms in class.

Yes, because if you're in the hall without one, then you MUST be commiting murder (Sarcasm lads)

In Sweden it starts in august and ends in june. Nothing odd about it, to me.

Yep and we decorate them too!

Yes, don't you?

They used to have E as a failing grade, but people thought it meant Excellent, so they changed it to an F.

Yep, even a snowboard & skiing club in the Midwest.

Wait, don't all schools have cafeterias? Where do you eat your lunch?

Yes sadly

Standard tests (state official) yeah, other than that, not really

Never seen tests like these, I'm English. Are they multiple choice questions? If so, I wish I had them

Certain computers read those

I have never done a test like that.

Ugh yes

Depends where and which schools. Some places use the scantron and some do not. The purpose of the scantron it the teacher feeds the scantron into the machine, the machine checks it agains the computer where the teacher had the answers in and autogrades it. Makes grading multiple choice easier on teachers

Yes conserving paper so that not ever student gets a massive packet for a test

Yes, it’s true. It is done to automate test scoring, so teachers don’t have to grade exams.

One teacher deuces it would be funny to many 4 versions of a test but each test you got you got all A’s or all B’s and so on depending on test version you got.

Sometimes-many have switched to testing on the computer.

Only multiple guess???

yeah..... if you didn't fill the bubble correctly, it was marked wrong

mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhjmmmmmm

They are computerized. (Graded by a computer)

So it is easy to check in the machine

some are

Some of them.

Some are, some aren't. This makes grading multiple choice questions easier. Machines can scan the answers. I have also had essay questions or questions requiring me to show my work to solve a math problem.

yup

I wished my tests were like that. I don't have to waist limited suply of brain energy

not for me, tho

Not like normal school tests, but like big, end-of-school tests yeah

yours aren't?

not all mine. Literature and english, no. Math yes.

Standardized testing is a horrible plague here in America. The students don’t matter, only their test scores matter. People at the top of our education system aren’t usually actual educators, they are just bureaucrats.

Some

This is used at the teacher’s and schools discretion

Those are called Standardized Tests, here in México we called Open Book tests :D

most of the time

No

Australia has multiple choice tests like that too. Usually state given tests. Do other countries not?

This method is widely used in other countries too, as it's good for machine evaluation.

What are tests like there?

some are -- not all. we also have to write essays.

That’s an easier way of scoring for teachers when you have multiple answer test but most test also include the essay questions which have to be scored differently. A New York State regents testing is graded by a multitude of teachers from different schools in the area. That is the highest level of testing we do.

C'mon. Really??? Only some are like that.

some but not all.

These are the kind of tests you take once a year to gauge your knowledge. They are given by the state your school is in. These tests will determine the school's grade, where tax monies should go, teacher reviews and all sorts of stuff. They are read by computers.

yeah, and you fail the thing if you put the smallest mark outside of it

mabe for some

yes, when you have 4 of the same letter in a row then something is off.

Only the super official ones, and even then I only took those in lower elementary school. Still slightly traumatized from obsessing over filling in the dot perfectly.

My tests are way too subjective
