Paper and tape is supplied by the teacher whereas all other materials are to be provided by the students. The device must fit on a 8.5"x11" piece of paper as in the length and width of the device can't be larger than 8.5"x11".

ED615: Module 1 Reflective Essay

     Throughout my academic career, I have taken multiple standardized tests from the HSA to SAT. Since high school I have taken the Maryland High School Assessments (HSA), SAT, multiple AP exams, and multiple Praxis exams. For the HSA I took the Algebra, Government, English, and Biology HSA and for the Praxis I took the Biology, Physics, and Grade 7-12 PLT exam. For AP exams, I took Government, Psychology, World History, Calculus AB and BC, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics C: Mechanics, and Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism. As you can see I took a high number of standardized tests in both college and high school where I supposedly was being tested on standards, how much I know about certain content, or how I would perform in the future.
