Is Our Students Just Guessing?

Maybe Bloomberg wants to rethink the exciting new test score results? They’re impressive:

Despite Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to end “social promotion,” sixth-graders can score high enough on state English exams to move to the next grade – just by guessing.

The number of correct answers needed to score a Level 2 to get promoted has sunk so low that a student can guess on the multiple choice section and leave the rest of the test blank.

In seventh grade, students who guess need just one extra right answer to make the cut.
