How would you feel if your whole intelligence was judged by one test? Is that an accurate and fair way to measure a person? Since students know that tests scores may affect their future lives they do whatever they can to pass them including cheating and taking performance drugs. Because of this standardized testing isn't actually measuring you, but to see if you have what it takes to pass no matter what. Not to mention but brain research suggests that too much stress is psychologically and physically harmful. When stress becomes overwhelming the brain shifts into a flight or fight response. Put a stop to the madness now!!!
