Teachers know that test scores may affect their students future lives so they do what they need to guarantee their student have the materials to pass the tests. Students spend so much time studying materials that will help them pass the test that they forget about their own school work.

Standardize testing ameliorates the loss of school time . The time that it takes to get the proctors, setup times that the tests may be completed, and disrupting school routines reduces the time for students to learn. Scholars have agreed that that a single test score, or multiple sets of test scores , cannot and will not reliably measure what students have learned in a particular class or school . Results aren't even configured until months later. A student could write innovative details in the margins not knowing that a human won't see that because it's the machines grading the tests. There aren't instructions provided by test companies of what questions you may have answered wrong that you could focus on. Tests do not reflect current knowledge of what students are learning. The understanding of how the brain grows and how many people learn and think has progressively grown. Although none of that really matters because the tests have remained the same. The tests can't even help a teacher in her own classroom. They’re ultimately useless, there is no specifications on what the child has missed or what needs to be taught more so teachers end up trashing the test scores or putting them in a file. The tests could be completely reliable if you'd get the exact same results the second time it's taken. You can never get the same results though because standardized testing does not focus on how the student …show more content…
Some kids do well with stress. Other students may fold. So , again , there really isn't a level playing field. Anecdotal reports from educators suggest students and teachers both are acclimated to the stress of test results. Schools rank students primarily on their test scores and many schools, as a whole, are put in rank on how their students perform on tests or the GPA average. Sleeping patterns become disturbed, eating habits may decline or increase, and the inability to focus are common symptoms of stress. Students are becoming more inclined to stress that they shouldn't having because the tests that are required “to graduate” puts the pressure on completing and perfecting all academics in less than a hour in every subject. Students stay up night after night studying for the tests becoming very tired and it affects their testing scores. Cramming for a test that's happening the next day or next week may work for some people but for others it just withdraws all of their energy they need to complete a test at all. Many students have trouble sleeping and start to feel nauseous from all the stress and studying for a test overnight increases the rates of insomnia. Statistic say that 15% of people have developed insomnia by just staying up and studying. Even two weeks after the fact many get back to their regular sleeping habits but still wake up from 2-4 a.m. The “Fight Or Flight” evolved as a survival mechanism, enabling people to react
