<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:12pt;font-family:Tahoma">I also have wondered about the length of these tests. A student can take a 4 subject college entrance test in 4 hours but it take almost that long for 1 subject of EOI tests. I
don't feel these tests would be such a burden to schools if they were able to complete them in an hour.<br>

Just wondering about time frame for other EOI subject tests... Since we were selected and are doing "try-outs" in addition to the many operational tests, the number of extra questions and the time it took to test caught us off guard. The new testing client
requires advanced technology, so many of our computers are not able to accommodate, and our computer lab schedules are a delicate balance in sharing with all the other testing in our district. </div>

So far we have just done the English Multiple choice. While this new TA manual for spring estimates 60 minutes for each section for English 2, I can tell you this was NOT the case. Our Eng 2 multiple choice had 80 questions including some constructed response.
We started first thing in the morning and most were barely done by lunch, some took longer... </div>

Our special ed group (that would have previously been taking an OMAAP) tested from 8:30am- 1:30pm with only a break. We would have let them go to lunch after section one if we would have known how LONG section 2 was... </div>

Not to mention, you have stressed kids close together in a lab trying to concentrate and read, then you've got the kids next to them that are already on the constructed response typing away on the keyboard which makes distracting noise!!!!!!!! <br>

Anyway, any advisement on time frame from those who have already administered any of the other subject tests would be great. </div>
