So it's midnight and I should be sleeping because I have a gigantic test tomorrow. A magical test that will determine my whole future. A magical test I like to call a standardized test. A standardized test known in the state of Texas as TAKS. Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.

I'm thinking I've come to a conclusion about this said TAKS.

It really sucks.

Discuss.

I'm sure at least a few of you out there are taking it. Or am I the only one not sleeping? And I'm sure they have different kinds in different states, right? Or does Texas just completely suck?

when i lived in washington we had to take the wasl in 7th grade. i'm not in washington for 10th grade so i dont have to take that one.

umm..here in tennessee we take the TCAP or terranova (whatever u want to call it) every year but, you dont have to pass to move to the next grade (not that i know of)

in tennessee we have to pass 3 tests to graduate. The Gateways. you take an algebra 1 one after you finish that class, an biology after that class, and an english 2 one after 10th grade english.
