 | | "When able examinees are given extra time in mathematics, they can improve their scores: the more able, the greater the improvement," Howard Wainer of the National Board of Medical Examiners and his colleagues wrote. |
 | | Interestingly, analyses of the results showed that extra time had a statistically significant impact on math scores, but there were no significant trends revealed in the verbal portion. |
 | | "When such tests are administered with extra time, the scores obtained cannot be interpreted in the same way as tests administered with the standard time allocation," Wainer and his colleagues concluded. |
