Standardized testing has become the focus of modern school reform since the implementation of the No Child Left Behind law in 2002 (Evans 1). The act was designed to hold all public schools to a high standard of education, measured by the results of students’ test scores on statewide standardized tests. Not all students are good test takers, and not all careers require the ability to take traditional tests in order to be successful on the job. A significant number of students nowadays would care much about standardized tests. This is because students feel like they must worry about a test which directly affects their grades and ability to learn. Standardized tests place a heavy weight on students that can lead to stress, take up instruction timing, and students won’t be able to learn anything from them.…

In January of 2002, President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act into law. This act required that each state develop standardized tests for basic skills and administer the tests to all students in order to receive federal funding for their school. Each state was required to set progress goals, and each school in the state must make adequate yearly progress, meaning that each year, the current students must perform better on the test than the previous students. If these progress goals were not met continually, schools were in jeopardy of losing federal funding, and teachers were in jeopardy of losing their jobs. The ultimate goal of the No Child Left Behind Act was to have 100% of students in a school reach the state requirements by 2014.…

A predominance of children and teens in the United States of America, and around the world between the ages of five and eighteen years old take tests. These test are commonly known as "E.O.C", "E.O.Y.s" and simply "Standardized Tests." Standardized tests have many negative impacts on children. For example, standardized tests have no achievement regarding students intelligence levels. However, one may consider standardized test to be a positive impact on their student because their schools approve of them. Another positive point is that most of the children's parents approve of them. Lastly, the students themselves also think that the testing is fair.…
Students with higher grades and modest test scores did better in college than students with lower grades and higher test scores (Sheffer). This proves that grades are more accurate predictors of a student's academic success. There are many benefits of making standardized tests optional or not requiring them at all. Standardized tests are a biased way of measuring academic talent. Although the College Board believes the SAT is a good predictor of academic success, this method of testing should be optional for students, as high school GPAs are better reflections on a student’s work ethics and future success in a school setting also not requiring standardized tests for college admittance increases…
Despite the 2012 decrease in the amount of standardized testing to be administered across the state of Texas, the use of this particular testing has gained extreme momentum in the academic arena, weighing heavily on students, parents and teachers. There are increasing efforts to now alleviate the use of tests in elementary and middle schools. Currently for high school students, standardized testing is the end-all for some students upon matriculation and they are being over-tested, taking multiple tests on the same material to complete high school and enter college. Critics say too much testing results in teaching to tests instead of more comprehensive learning (Smith). Those who disagree with that would argue the question of how to know the…
“Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts” (Wetzel). Albert Einstein’s quote can be applied to high-stakes testing. Standardized tests are being used to establish the knowledge that an individual has obtained through their entire education. In the American education system, experts/educators??? are always striving to create a more desirable learning environment. In order to create a better learning atmosphere it is necessary to find a more successful way to measure students intellect. “Standardized tests do not accurately portray an individual’s intelligence.” Some people may claim that testing is the only way to truly show results. However, standardized testing can not improve student academic…
