The essay states that “...the 1995 Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) found that 8th graders in Japan and Germany are assigned less homework but still…

students admitted to cheating on a test, 58 percent admitted to plagiarism and 95 percent said they participated in some form of cheating, whether it was on a test, plagiarism or copying homework.

The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) has played a vital role in colleges’ selection process. At one time the SAT was held at great value in the scholastic world and students spent months preparing understanding their scores impact on their future. However, the SAT has proved to be in an inadequate measure of a student’s success in future academic endeavors and colleges are beginning to make submitting scores optional.

There is even a medical term for this that sounds as mythical as unicorns, dragons, or global warming: test anxiety. There are reports that the mere rumor of a test can instantly send a student into seizure. I have been assured by over two hundred scientific works by over 32 different specialists that 99 percent of all…
