  • My comments are these: Need better spacing/timing of tests. Students in grades 3-8 have now had 5 days of ELA and math, plus field testing, plus NYSESLAT, if they are ELLs. These kids are burned out. Even if they are still cooperative and willing to take more tests, they are emotionally and mentally fatigued and cannot do their best.

  • And even more so if they have been doing practice tests for months and months and months...!
