[LM_NET] Target: Test scheduling affect on test results

[Deborah Stafford <deborah.stafford@T-ONLINE.DE>]

Hi all;

Like so many, my school does a suite of standardized tests in the spring.
Usually we do this suite during one week of a two week "window" we are
given. There is a proposal this year to spread the test out to use more of
the full window.

I am looking for anything that might address test results from a longer
testing schedule. I have looked in the ERIC, Department of ED, and GEM as
well as standard search engine searches. We do not at this time have access
to any subscription databases.

From my search terms I keep getting posted test schedule on school web
pages, or discussions of block scheduling on standard test results.

Any one know of a study about differences in the way a test was scheduled?
Any ideas on search terms that would get me closer to what I want?

I will post a hit.
