today. Many people believe that it should happen because the recipients could use their income to buy illegal substances, but others believe that it could be considered discrimination and that it violates human rights. As of right now, 13 states drug test welfare recipients. The people who support welfare drug testing have quite a few reasons as to why they think it should happen.

used on aptitude and achievement tests, these include the following criticisms: For some, taking a test can act as a motivator to do better, but for others it can do the exact opposite.

Assessing the SAT Test The main test I recall taking is the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), no known as just the SAT, the test that a majority of high school students take in order to gain entrance into college. In fact, 1.7 million students took the SAT in 2015 with 41.9% meeting the college and career readiness benchmark (College Board, 2015).
