Maybe, but is it really something that should be in a math proficency test? Especially since it seems to be the part that trips up the French speaking group.

- LegitShady 5y agothe test and source material should be available in french - I assume it already is. That part actually seems to be in there to make it so those who do poorly in the math have some reading they can do to boost their marks.

It's marked separately, so this doesn't happen: https://mathproficiencytest.ca/#/en/applicant/learn/results:partial_success https://mathproficiencytest.ca/#/en/applicant/learn/results:... "Applicants are required to obtain a 70% or greater on each of the components of the test, in the same attempt, to be successful on the MPT." Not that I think that's particularly relevant to the lawsuit. If the component is discriminatory, it seems like it's discriminatory whether it serves as a filter on it's own, or it acts as a way to "boost your marks" for the other filter. Same if it's not discriminatory.

I.e. it involves understanding protocols and not just understanding math. That stuff is part of teacher training so of course test takers should be prepared to be asked about it. It should probably also include basic first aid, a little bit of child psychology, and (in the US) crowd control and self-defense.
