[CrX3183]

Why are they making more and more standardized test for students to take in California???

Even and exiting exam, isn't that a little excessive? <_<

[deez nuts]

What the hell is an exiting exam? Wow, gotta be tough for you young'uns nowadays.

I'm sure glad i didn't have to take it when i went to high school.

i hate standardized tests. at first i start to work but then halfway through the seemingly never ending problems i lose heart and bubble in a pretty pattern.

standardized tests got me into university. my school grades sucked, so my only outstanding point was the test scores.

I had extremely bad grades in high school; I applied to 3 schools and got accepted by all of them due to my test scores. {University of California - Berkeley, University of Texas - Austin, University of Washington - Seattle }

Of course, this was about a decade ago, so they've probably been screwing around with the admissions criteria. Ah, the good old days.

I know a bunch of my former classmates got into respectable and ranked universities for their MBAs with gpas in the 2.0-2.5 range.

Standardized testing SUCKS....
and what really pisses :pissed: me off is that they ask you your gender and your race and all that personal sheet... THAT DOESN'T MATTER... and it's been proven that standardized testing is aimed for the majorities, and that minorities tend to do not as well because of it.
