Thanks for posting this mon - I don't have time to read through it right now but will look at it later on this weekend.

Our neuropsych told us that the reason the high stakes test companies only allow time+1/2 for extended time is that if they let people have longer time, they'd have enough time with the questions in front of them to start to be able to remember the questions in enough detail to write them down again after the test... hence leading to people stealing the questions to give to others to help someone else do better on the test. Who knew there was so much science behind test accommodations?!

BTW, our neuropsych also feels that eventually (5-10 years down the road), all of the high stakes tests will be given on the computer.
