RE: Use of exams.



In the IB system a definite, preset, standard amount of additional time (I
can't remember what it is - maybe 10 min for a 2 h exam) is allowed for an
exam, simply because nobody is really sure how to handle the problem on a
case-by-case basis. There is some concern of abuse.

to give separate untimed tests for students diagnosed with attention deficit

also the possibility of abuse. Has anyone else had experience with this?
