Hi Gloria: Hey, I've done that too. My version when the class as a whole has performed poorly is to have the class retake the exact test, the second time with notes, books, drawings - any resource except each other. Obvioulsy the scores skyrocket, and for the effort, I added a small percentage owing to the work they completed in a open book style assignment. I justify this as using the test as an instructional instrument, not just an assessment instrument. I'm not sure how wothwhile this technique is and I'm not promoting it. I'm merely sharing I've done something similar, albeit, it has been probably 15 years. Regards, Barry
