Testing

I do not feel like education relies too heavily on testing.  Unless someone can tell me a better way to show how a student has learned about the topic and is knowledgable on it I feel that tests are the best way.  Now that does not mean that I like tests, because I do not.  I am a decent test taker myself I would say.  Standardized tests are the worst of them all.  Taking the ACT was one of if not the worst and hardest test I have ever taken in my life.  But in the world we live in today everything is competitive and colleges want to accept the brightest and most promising students.  There are ways you can better yourself for taking tests, it just takes time and effort.  So in conclusion, tests are the best way to measure your knowledge and ability but they aren't everyones favorite.
