I am pretty smart (ranked 27 out of my class of 305), but I always did terrible on the standardized testing. I don't think it accurately shows the knowledge a student learns while in school. I had test anxiety and would overthink my answers to the questions which made me score lower than I should have. Colleges then use this information to help determine who gets into their schools. I think they should get rid of these types of tests completely.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262913958279686179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-11759664521955600162019-04-14T11:04:24.038-06:002019-04-14T11:04:24.038-06:00I think the problem is not only do they end up tea...I think the problem is not only do they end up teaching what to do on the test, but their focus is just on the test materials themselves and not other useful information.
