The book, The Testing, by Joelle Charbonneau, connects another impact -- the impact of testing on social inequity. “While The United Commonwealth and its issues are fictional, there are a great number of things about the world that do reflect our current society, especially in regards to our current education system. In the last fifteen years, our educational system has become very dependent on high stakes testing.” (Anna Dalin, 1). In this book, the University only accepts the best students to attend, but the only way you can be accepted is if you succeed in tests at their school, and at their Testing facilities. With not everyone given a fair shot to attend, this is a social inequality, that the main character Cia is working to overcome.
