Tests really don't show much. That's pretty much a fact. I called my college teacher on it one day. I was taking an advanced philosophy class. And I asked her, "would I learn more from studying for the test, or would I learn more by reading everything this philosopher wrote?" <br /><br />The purpose of test is to access the class, and I think essay tests help a student learn to think and write quickly, but 12 years of testing? puck me. 4 years in college almost gave me a nervous breakdown, and I'm an outstanding test taker. I feel sorry for those who are not. <br /><br />I should blog about this sometime. Lanahttp://www.wideopenground.comnoreply@blogger.com
