<p class="MsoNormal">So, I have a question.... were your "try out" questions on the regular EOI?... or is that a separate test? I am trying to figure out if your regular EOI English II online test took that long... or was it so long because you had extra "try
out" questions included in that?.....<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">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... <o:p></o:p></span></p>

if we would have known how LONG section 2 was... <o:p></o:p></span></p>

typing away on the keyboard which makes distracting noise!!!!!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
