While Elia and Fariña are promoting the revised tests, test critic Fred Smith, writing for City Limits, argues the changes are at best “illusory.” Twenty-five percent of the reading questions on the test are experimental and will not actually count, however, they can through off the performance of students on the rest of the exam. These questions were developed by Pearson, the discredited testing company that New York State already abandoned for future exams. In addition, while the new version of tests are supposed to be un-timed, in a school district with over a million children this will be impossible to administer.
