Here is my beef with standardized tests. I suck at them. Exaplian this one to me: according to the Early Warning Tests (for 8th graders in NJ) I belonged in remedial math and in level B English, yet on enterance exams, I placed for Honors/AP English and Math.
Post SATs, I was diagnosed with test anxiety and subsequently for the GREs, I did fine- the first test that I think is comming closer to acurrately rating my level of achivement.
While, I think something is neccessary to be applied to everyone, I really don't know what the answer is.
