IMHO the fact that the bubble sheets need to be sent out, only on the first administration of the exam, and we must wait to find out what the cut off points will be, indicates that the state is manipulating. There is no doubt in my mind.

Meaning no disrespect, unless one has served on the Standards Setting Committee, one has no clue what goes into the making of a recommendation, from NYS teachers, to the Commissioner regarding the cut points for 65 and 85.

Well...I'll say it again. It is disgusting that the state has to wait to see what raw scores were before deciding on a cut score. This demonstrates how state is trying to manipulate information to demonstrate that their new program is *better* for the students and will result in increased passing rates. In reality, as we all know, the cut off for IA is so low that it proves nothing in terms of a student's ability to go to for higher math. The state must go back to preparing tests based on 100 points and having a *true* grade that reflects a student's actual, not manipulated, ability.
I am so disgusted. How come the U.S. Department of Ed doesn't come in and clean house here? It would be welcome.

Still no cut scores early Thurs am. Think they're still working on them, or
just didn't get around to posting them after hours last night? What a sad state
of affairs this whole Regents cut score experience is. I'm still spinning about
kids getting grades in the 70's on the IA exam after leaving virtually all of
the free response questions blank.
