narfblat Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 schools have too much emphasis on tests and work, and not enough on really learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsioN Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Man, I'd hate to be in that position. Looks like you got owned. Lets hope you can re-take. They can't keep you in school for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Its the Ohio Proficiency Test, a prerequisite for Graduation. Failing by one point is the biggest waste of time...actually, the tests are a waste of time... She gets one more shot before June though...

Master_Keralys Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yeah, they already said she can. Sorry about that; I've had days like that. Good luck the next time around. All tests are not pointless. All standardized tests are not pointless. All US standardized tests are utterly pointless. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Originally posted by narfblat schools have too much emphasis on tests and work, and not enough on really learning. Well... tests were originally designed to see if we HAVE learned anything... except pretests. But you already knew that. Sorry to hear that Selene.

Crow_Nest Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Thats sad to hear you failed by just 1 mark. I know how it feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoman81 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Yeah, I had to take the OPT too. They do honestly suck in the worst way possible. Surprised you got you scores back already. That was quick. And now they're changing the tests too. Hopefully you won't have to see that. The only thing I can tell you (being a former education major) if you know where you're weak points are, go to the library and get a copy of the most recent OPT help book. Since you only missed it by one point, I don't think you have a whole lot to worry about. I went to school with people that continually failed those tests because they didn't try or couldn't add 2+2 and show work for it. I'm sure you will do fine the next time around. Good luck!

jokemaster Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Cool, at least you can still graduate. And just send Kain over to whoever made the test and *ahem* certain results will appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeleneRayne Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 yeah, i've been studying for it forever it seems like. every weekend, i'd have to get up at 8 to go to tutoring. it sucks cause that shoulda paid off n it didn't but i know what is causing the trouble n i am gonna get the help i need on it. i think if it was lower, i'd be extremely depressed. but i tried really hard and i know next time that test is gonna get it!!! lol : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
