The first grade teachers in my building did this simply becuase there is so much involved in the higher testing - the writing can be a a tough one for the first grade students. I had several who I knew could pass this last one, but aren't strong writers so I stopped at a 24. We do go to a 28 and stop- which is our end of 2nd grade requirement - for first we have a 20 requirement. Those who took the 28 did the non-fiction - going on the assumption that this is the more difficult and if they could read/write the non-fiction they were a true 28.
