ironically, I got the same score in english test but at two different levels, when i'm good and when i was bad in english the difference is for the worse one that i had crammed the knowledge on a paper the teacher gave us before the exam, and for the better one that i did not cram anything before the exam it's was just my real knowledge of english at that time

I think it's just dehumanizing No one cares about their kids' well-being, just their grades I guess it prepares them for a life of being only valued for how much money people can make from them though Ugh, I hate my culture

The comedy about this international English language test is that they are not "friendly" to anyone that isn't a genious about this test We can get a high score, yeah, but at the end what's the reason behind complicate things to a level of "confidence", "exact word usage (Writing)", specific amount of words and random knowledgebrAt the end IELTS and many other exams have the lack of friendliness and also ignores the objective of language itself Communicate, we can be polite, attentive, up to the date of many topics, but for work, study, and talk we need to communicate, not being like the "reliable" person that elite language academics saybrBut hey I'm just a normal person and I can't change the hard/tuff direction that multiple academies of language like to do in order to sell more books, training programs, even testbrbr(Oh and I'm about to end 10th semester and finally become a legally proper teacher, I hate the fact that foreign languages are being managed by "academic" companies that want to standardize how the people talk and communicate, the grading system and the difficult and way in which they evaluate is about "confidence" but also exact pronunciation and strict use of language I get that academies and business have a "face" that we have to use at the moment of talk and write letters, but being too strict with it with everyone isn't that good

At least in higher education, I feel that standardized tests are a must Rich kids can get internships, volunteering positions, etc through their connections, and they can get a good GPA at an elite school by buying off the right people, but they can't fake their way through the SATs or ACTs (at least, in a perfect world they can't) The SAT and ACT can be aced by any student, rich or poor, if they put in the work, and that evens the playing field

Of course This is, because belief in the usefulness of standardised tests should be associated with mental illness The reason for why standardised tests failed America for 40 years is because of mental disorders in those who still believe that they work, and because children do not have standardised minds The idea behind standardised tests was to force Nature to conjure up some kind of a human memory which could memorise the content required to answer them Nature cannot be forced to do things Nature does what nature does Thanks for the lecture

Forget anything that comes out of Harvard Harvard has turned into an insane asylum We need to keep standardized testing Who do you want performing your operation or flying your airplane? Do you want the high achievers who worked hard and scored well or do you want people who became surgeons and pilots through affirmative action? Answer the questions clearly and honestly

Standardized test, and only one per something, are used, because they are cost efficient The goals mentioned in the video can be solved by more sophisticated standardized test or a set of a wider range of them, But that would require more money, because more manpower would be needed

I feel like exams and standardized testing should be banned because these only focus on how well and how much you memorize something not the ability to know how well you learn something

Who is doing the best on the SAT? Asians Which ethnic group has been taking standardized tests the longest? Asians Maybe this video is addressed to ethnic groups that do not come from a competitive exam culture? And maybe groups that don’t have parents who push their children to prepare for exams?
Comment from : @zachgates7491

When i was a child in gr school doing a standardized test the teacher told us when we complete the test we can go outside for recess I circled as many answers as fast as possible without even reading the questions just so i could go outside and play Now that i look back, it may have not been the best idea Lol

Comment from : @xandgold3030

Well… I made IQ tests and the final result was 120, what’s considered to be above the average However when I have to undertake myself to an academic test, my bands tend to be 6, 7 or 8/10 So I can basically talk for hours about psychology or music, for example, and even make precise observations But for the academy, I’m considered to be average or lower than the expected I developed Exams Anxiety, what ruined many academic and professional chances I had
Comment from : @AmandaGoutenberg

All of you here that are complaining about standardize tests should be a shame of yourselves Your children will be tested in every part of their life and in order to pass those tests they have to rely on studying, critical thinking, seeking outside advise, etc A few examples would be to find a spouse, dating, job interviews, friendships, running a business, getting a loan, etc Competition and preparation is a part of life We compete for everything in this life Standardize test will be replaced with extracurricular activities like expensive projects and having them published In the end people will be complaining about the same old things That getting into college is too competitive and unfair to middle class and low income families
Comment from : @tomlewis9776

Have you ever wondered how some of these people that we meet at the post office, the MTA, city jobs in general got hired? If you do, read on Some of these people are so twisted and confused and lost A lot of them can't even form proper sentencesbrbrI finally figured it all out The entry testing standards have been lowered through the years It's the only way this "educated" bunch can get into a city job The same thing is happening with college entry exams The exams are now so easy that a monkey can pass brbrIf they continue to lower the testing standards, there will come a time when the only requirement to enter college will be a pencil They will ask: DO YOU HAVE A PENCIL? IF YOU DO, GET IN THERE, IT'S CALCULUS What the heck is going on in the United States? God help us all

standardised tests is just a measure of explanation and memorisation to the required problem and meeting its criteria instead of improvising it and how deep of that certain knowledge can be expressed
Comment from : @k4z1r1n

You had some good arguments, and some poor ones, but it seems like this is more of things tests could improve on Recognizing cultural validity is important as well as disabilities preventing a person from taking the test But if that disability would functionally impair that individual from functionally completing a task assigned to them than a test should reveal that as well It all depends on the situation such as dyslexia As someone who has test anxiety, your comment was a bit weak and almost feels insulting Its up to me to become a better test taker not tests to pander to my inabilities Either/or arguments almost always fall flat on their face, including the one you presented Standardized testing should absolutely be improved, but just like with other things assuming we should much less can just wholly get rid of things sounds a bit dishonest

Comment from : @nayash4744

I would be in favour of ridding public school education of standardized testing, but it would be better if standardized testing takes a back seat in public school education Reducing the roll of standardized testing in public schools is one of the things that the Finnish public school education got right Children are not standardized test scores and they're not grades of a report card Standardized test scores and letter grades on a report card are just letters and numbers and that report card is just paper Children need to be allowed to learn things in school that they want to learn and they will prepare them for college, adulthood, and beyond, even if there grades are very poor, at best
Comment from : @andreasantoni6896

The problem with the current education system is that it wasn't exactly designed for educating, but rather producing workers that requires the minimum knowledge to function You couldn't expect such system to accommodate for every unique human beings, as it is an 'average' system for non existing 'average' chilldren If you have the means, you could keep your child safe from the system by homeschooling or sending them to an avant garde school Yet this couldn't fix the fundamental crack in the societybrI really wish when the tech savvy generation take over, they will have the courage to crumble the weak foundation and start anew, this time with the right mindset planted

One advantage of standardized test is that they make it possible to evaluate different methods of teaching Did the experimental method produce better results than control group (the old method)?
