Add to all of this the disruption in prepping consistently while trying to navigate the end of a school year going online, test dates being pulled after a student has already done the big “test prep” push months before say the April or June tests, be it solo or tutored, having test dates pulled at the last minute, and finally taking the test at some point over the next 6 months (date still not assured) in a much less than ideal, anxiety boosting, Walking Dead environment requiring distancing, “masks” and the like, one ends up with a very inhospitable testing experience all around. Definitely not a set up for success. Certainly in the hot states and cities, Covid 19 has an enormous impact on the testing evironment and the psyche of students (and parents). And it’s not just having a test available on some outside date X in mid summer or fall that is a cure all or really a fair or viable alternative that will suddenly put students on parity with other test takers in years past. This is the wild wild west.
