Testing (CCR)

In the United States of America, everything is based on a test. To move on to the next level of education , you have to take a test , which I think is highly unfair because some people are horrible test takers. From 3rd to 8th grade you have to take the Citywide test , where you have to pass both the reading and math test with at least a 2 , 4 being the highest. When in High school , you have to take Regents , in order to receive a high school diploma you must have passed 5 regents including Algebra, English , Global , US History, and Living Environment. In order to get into certain colleges , you have to take The SAT's or ACT's , which is a time standardized test that test how "smart" and "challenged" the highest being 2400. If your becoming a doctor you have to take boards in order to practice medicine , you have to take the mCATs to get into medical school. Everywhere you go and everything you are aiming to accomplish , you have to take a test in order to maintain that accomplishment. I believe that it shouldn't be like that , the purpose of the testing is to see what you learn and to see if you can practice it correctly , but a lot of things may happen when you are nervous,you can blank out as soon as you get the test , and sometimes after all of the studying you begin to stress and give up.
