Start a new discussion...
Since it won't let me post on the thread, I guess I have to start it as a new post.

Anyway - you may as well just give the student a 100% without taking the test if all they have to do is "not do" a question that they don't know the answer to. Answer the questions you know, leave the ones you don't know blank, and you get 100%.

Obviously, this is not a fair or accurate system to measure what someone actually knows or can do. Sure, we need to allow for slower processing, etc. So extra time makes sense. A shorter test makes sense.

But just allowing a student to decide AFTER seeing the questions which ones they will do or not isn't really a workable solution.
