    SAT's too long?

    I guess some think 3h 45m is too long and want to take it in 3 sittings;

    If so then where do I go to complain about my board exams? Talk about stress

      I like a nice 3 hour exam. And thats what I LIKE, as in I think it's plenty fair, so add another 45 minutes to that, I think it is still bearable; I wouldn't be complaining until it started to get close to 5. Realistically though, as long as the seats aren't too bad and it's in a short enough time span that you don't have to go for a bathroom break: it's all good

          3:45 is too long for a continous exam, by the end of it you'd be hard pressed to think straight...3 hours is normal for an important exam. From your link, I gather it was that way in the past...

              "For students with special needs who are granted extra time, he noted, the exam can stretch five or six hours."

              ^^ that is too much methinks, I could see if it was post-secondary or something...

                          As I remember, it wasn't continuous.. I think we got a break or two for the bathroom.
