Wahl said, “Initial reaction (to the test is that it) is very efficient and informative.” He said that the test-takers and teachers alike get their results in real time upon completion of the test.

Regarding getting results immediately upon completion of the text, Senior Alex Cohen said, “It would make me nervous while taking the test.” But after it was all said and done, he said it would be nice to see his results right away.

Wahl said they are trying to find a comparable model for the assessment to institute in grades 6 to 12. He said they are doing research regarding a comparable model this school year, and that the earliest possible implementation of the assessment for grades 6 to 12 would be next school year.
