Um there's about three things I don't like about testing.

Here they are:

You need to take them really early in the morning, half of the people are still half asleep and it's hard to wake yourself up to take a brain killer test. At my school if you don't come at the exact time they told you to come, you will not be allowed in the school until the test is over. So your standing outside probably in the cold for over 3 hours.

You have to take the test on the day everyone is taking it, if you miss one day of testing then you are not allowed to take any of the test you missed on another day. Even if your really sick but you come to school, you need to take the test. My idiotic brain did that once, I went to school while I had a bad headache and I scored way below the grades I mostly get in those tests. So it was a whole ordeal after that or maybe I am really stupid.

Lastly, I don't really like that they time us. I can't work well under pressure. But, yea I understand why they do it though

That's about it
Bye N Have a nice day

I suppose that depends on where you live and what test you're taking.

They are important but at the moment i dont think they are very accurate nor are they administered in a fair manner.

Some actually benefit you, but it's not like you'd consider that, eh?

HATE THEM HATE THEM HATE THEM!

Actually, I CAN see why we have to do them. However they are extremely boring and stupid. Plus it must cost the state a ton of money to print out the test booklets for every student in the state! I say that the state can look at all the other work we have done throughout the year.
