  Case: Math Pretest
Mrs. Granger gives a pretest before each math unit. What do you do if all students pass the pretest? Do you give the post test still?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I were Mrs. Granger, I would teach the standards that students did not pass and retest after those have been taught. I do not feel that she should automatically give the posttest. Not every student got 100% on their pretest. Teach the items that scored low (even though everyone passed) then give a posttest. She should raise her mastery percentage because she should expect even higher scores now.

Comments: I agree clarification on those items that were not correct even though they passed is a great idea still.

Comments: I agree with this concept because not everyone will understand every question. I would score the items based on which ones got wrong and then I would go forth with creating another test. I would add maybe a bonus question that is for the next lesson to see how many students would get that right.
