Toshsa, Hmmm... this time I have to disagree. The evidence indicates that if the student does not have a disability, the extended time does not make a signficant difference (if you don't know the answer, all the extra time in the world won't help!). For the student with a disability, who needs more time to respond, the extra time matters. But we don't provide it because we are making it up to them for their disadvantage (because we feel sorry for them). We provide the extra time so that they will have the (equivalent) SAME amount of time that everyone else has. Dr. Jane Jarrow
