Testing!

Testing, a word that no student wants to hear.  Something that I dread completely.  I feel like it is really uncalled for to be tested on the past 13 years on my education.  I'm not going to remember everything after not going over it for so many years, and especially not in a test format.  I think education relies to heavily on testing.  I have always gotten good grades in school and maintain a good gpa, but I personally don't do as well on tests.  I think there should be tests, throughout the classrooms, that way teachers know that we understand the content.  However, standardized testing that pretty much makes or breaks your future, like the ACT is ridiculous!  I think their could be a "fair" test for everyone according to the school and the classes in which a student has taken.  But it is too difficult for the state to do that.  I have done fairly average on my testing, but not as well as I have wanted.  I don't think my test scores reflect the student I am in school.  Therefore, I consider myself as one who doesn't do well on tests.
