SHIELD Testing used to take less than 10 minutes to do. It took longer waiting in line than to actually do the test. But, they changed the funnels on the testing tubes. I did a SHIELD test with those funnels the other day, and it took me an hour and a half to do the test. After that hour and a half, I wasn't even done. I was only 1/8 of the way done. I was told to just fo back to class. I probably could have been there the whole day and not been done. That hour and a half caused me to fall behind on my social studies assignments. If I have to do this every week, I will keep falling behind. I know that I am not the only person who thinks these new tests take too long. I have a friend who came after me, and by the time she got through the line, she had already missed a class. Then she had to do the test. The amount of time it was taking people was causing a back up in the line. This is absurd, and we should go back to when the tests took a total of 10 minutes.
