Many feel as though a lot of retests would be fluffing the grade, for once they master that standard, we eliminate that low grade and only count the higher one. Is this the right mindset? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think a retest could be helpful if the students don’t know a retest is optional before the first attempt. A student could have had an off day or had things going on at home on the sat of the test and didn’t know as well as they could have.
