I know this is a huge issue for some people and quite frankly I disagree upon it too. Why does a standardized test have to be a determining factor whether we get into college or not? Why do we use a test to determine our future?

Sounds silly when you put it that way. It is because it is silly. I am a person not to test well on any test nerveless a standardized test. For me, I was freaked out because I was so worried about not getting into college because of a test score.

But I am a good student, have a GPA of 3.6, did extra curriculars in high school and guess what I got a 21. Now you might think that is frowned upon but why? Why does a score have to be a label.

Why are we going into a school already with a label of an ACT/SAT score. I don't think an standardized test should determine your faith of a future. I think if you are a good student, participate in school activities, volunteered, and are a good citizen I think you should be able to go to college. It's simple.

There doesn't have to be a test to weed out some kids that actually have the potential for college or give the students that have a perfect score more of a reason to brag about how smart they are. All because of a test.

There are a lot of reasons why people do poorly or do well on these test, and nobody really cares about that, it is the score they care about and that is it. Standardized testing is not for everyone and should not be a requirement for admission into college.
