These are sample questions in a new breed of exams the so-called "high-stakes tests" that are being used more and more in states across the country in an effort to prove that teachers are teaching and students are learning. Related story: Pennsylvania's tests growing teeth And if they're not, there are consequences. While the full consequences of these high-stakes tests won't be known for some years, in most states they now determine whether a student advances to the next grade or graduates from high school; whether a teacher or principal keeps a job or merits bonus pay; whether a school is praised or punished by a state takeover. As deadlines for imposing penalties get closer, several state education officials already are considering changes because they're concerned that students will be punished for the failings of their schools or the improper use of tests.

It is not necessary to give a reason. Tell the principal that you will either pick up your child from school during the testing times, or that you'll keep your child usuefully occupied in the library.

28. Assessment Of Susceptibility Testing Practices For Streptococcus Pneumoniae ---
    assessment of Susceptibility testing Practices for Streptococcus pneumoniae United states, February 2000. Streptococcus pneumoniae  
    http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5118a2.htm
    
    Extractions: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia, otitis media, and meningitis in the United States. Antimicrobial susceptibility results are important for guiding therapy decisions and monitoring emerging resistance patterns. Appropriate methods for pneumococcal susceptibility testing are recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) ( ). Recommendations for pneumococcal susceptibility testing are reviewed annually and were the same in 2000 and 2001. To assess laboratory practices for Streptococcus pneumoniae susceptibility testing on sterile site isolates, in February 2000, CDC conducted a multistate survey of clinical laboratories. This report summarizes the survey results, which found that most practices of clinical laboratories were consistent with NCCLS recommendations; however, some inconsistencies were noted. As antimicrobial resistance in pneumococci continues to worsen, clinical laboratories should be aware of emerging resistance patterns and follow new recommendations to provide clinicians with precise information about antimicrobial susceptibility. Laboratories were selected on the basis of their participation in CDC's Emerging Infections Program/Active Bacterial Core Surveillance ( ), through which, since 1995, state and local health departments and universities have conducted active population- and laboratory-based surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease (defined as isolates from sterile sites such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]) in seven to nine geographic areas in the United States. The survey was designed to assess 1) which susceptibility testing practices were being used by clinical laboratories, 2) whether practices followed current NCCLS guidelines, 3) which antimicrobials were being tested routinely, and 4) how microbiology laboratories were reporting susceptibility results to clinicians.

    Extractions: Email: czinkovich@pcipr.com Embargoed for release after 2 p.m. ET, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2001 WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 4 – New research suggests that while fears of insurance discrimination and high test costs are factors in some women’s decisions to decline breast cancer genetic testing, the majority of those who decline the test may be doing so because pre-test counseling helped them better understand their genetic risk. A study on the topic is being presented this week at the 20th Annual Education Conference of the National Society of Genetic Counselors. “Many studies have focused on why patients choose to have testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, not why they don’t have testing,” said Lisa Dellefave, genetic counselor, Northwestern University. She conducted the study at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. “Genetic testing is not cut and dried. It’s not as easy as going to the doctor’s office, getting tested, and that’s the end of it. There are a lot of psychological issues involved.” In a study of 24 patients who had received genetic counseling for a family history of breast cancer and decided not to undergo genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, 12 percent of respondents said that they feared health and life insurance discrimination. Another 12 percent cited the high cost of the test.

A test has more questions of greater difficulty and requires more time for completion than a quiz . It is usually divided into two or more sections, each covering a different area of the domain or taking a different approach to assessing the same aspects. A standardized test is one that compares the performance of every individual subject with a norm . The norm may be established independently, or by statistical analysis of a large number of subjects. The study of exams is called psychometrics Table of contents 1 Types of questions 2.4 The SAT and other high-stakes exams For a multiple-choice question, the author of the test provides several possible answers (usually four or five) from which the test subject must choose. There is only one right answer, usually respresented by only one answer option, though sometimes divided into two or more, all of which the subject must identify correctly. Such a question may look like this: The number of planets in the solar system is: a) 7 b) 8 c) 9 d) 10 If a subject makes an error and produces an answer that is not an option, the subject will see that he or she is wrong. As a result, he or she will probably continue working until an allowable answer is achieved. If the subject fails to produce an allowable answer after an inordinate amount of time, he will probably suffer from dramatically increased anxiety, leading to a cascade of further errors not representative of his actual level of knowledge.

Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota, National Center on Educational Outcomes. Retrieved [today's date], from the World Wide Web: http://education.umn.edu/NCEO/OnlinePubs/OOLT5.html Executive Summary Out-of-level testing is the practice of administering a test at a level above or below the level that is generally recommended for a student based on his or her age or grade. Originally introduced in the 1970s as a way to more precisely measure student achievement growth as an index of program efficacy, today out-of-level testing has become a testing option for testing students with disabilities in large-scale assessment programs. Currently, there are 12 states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia) that test students out of level in state tests. However, the recent increase in implementing out-of-level testing has not occurred without controversy.

    Extractions: As mandated by the Education Reform Law of 1993, the new statewide testing program is designed to evaluate how well students are meeting the state's new learning standards in the curriculum frameworks. In 1998, students will be tested in English language arts, mathematics, and science and technology; in 1999, also in history and social science. A foreign languages test will be added later, in accordance with an amendment to the law. What are the new learning standards? The learning standards are contained in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. The curriculum frameworks describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject for grade groupings Pre-Kindergarten-4, 5-8, 9-10, and 11-12. Schools and districts use the frameworks to develop their own curricula as they prepare students to meet the challenging new standards. Why was it necessary to set new, statewide standards?
