Same here. I was the person who would do poorly on the 15 min physics quizzes we had in college just to get the highest grade in the class on the final, only because I had more time (half the answers on my quizzes would be blank just because I didn’t get to them). In high school, I would barely squeak by on the multiple choice AMC to then do fantastic on the 3 hour AIME.
But I clearly knew the material, and I knew it very well, so are you going to penalize me for being slightly slower on a test? As an employee, I complete my real world tasks just as fast as everyone else, so why should a time constraint on a high pressure exam relate to the real world productivity and profitability of an employee? I would argue that it doesn’t—at all.
