Number Sense Tests & General Math tests

It may just be me, but the tests really seem to be a lot harder this year.
I conjecture that the previously stated is true because of CLEMENTS and KLEIN.
They were spitting out godforsakenlyhigh scores last year at District and State, the writer must have had no choice.
I sure feel bad for the writer though, every test he spits out, regardless of how hard, gets trashed by Klein and Clements nevertheless. =O
