For all of us still trudging through public schools and those whose tax dollars fund our education...
Does standardized testing (SATs ACTs etc.) accurately measure a student's capacity, and, more importantly, should it be as integral to education as it is currently? |

they are not accurate and they are not necessary. Since how is that one test is suppose to measure all the knowledge that you gained in high school/jr high/elementary school? There are things that we learn that aren't even on those "standardized" tests. I really think colleges should look at a student's high school history and not base their decision on just that one test.
