How many high school students do you know that enjoy taking tests? My guess, not many. Most students can handle one or two tests a year but if you ask them to take two or three every semester you will have a problem. There are many problems with so many standardized tests. One, They take away from actual class time of learning so you spend more time finding out what you know than actually learning about stuff. Two, doing so many tests in a short period of time students lose interest and their test scores drop severely. The third and final reason is that it decides to much of where you go in your high school career. That is why schools should pull back on standardized tests.
