Hi Jenny
We don't set a time limit as such. We've taken some advice from our US
colleagues and adopted their method, which seems to be working well so far.
We set a 5-minute timer going once we've received in half of the iRAT scores
(captured via clickers from Turning Technologies). The iRATS on my module
this semester are 10 questions in length. It's usually takes somewhere
between 20 and 30 minutes for all 105 students to complete (this includes
the time to type the answers into the clicker, check them and submit). If
they find the questions more challenging (as they did yesterday), it takes a
bit longer. Using this flexible method we've overcome the need (so far) to
allow extra time for disability students.
Best wishes
Simon

Subject: Length of time for RATs
Hello - we have allowed 20 minutes (plus 5 minutes extra time for those with
registered extra time needs) for a 15 item MCQ test. I'd be grateful to
hear about length of time others have allowed. Several students are
complaining this is not enough time!
Best wishes
Jenny
