Students have been taking standardized testing and people are starting to question if students are taking too much standardized testing. There is too much standardized testing because it is taking up too much class time and many districts are taking more tests then required. Standardized testing is taking up too much class time.

So, between pre-k through 12th grade the students in a public school can take around 112 standardized exams. According to Source A found out that the average time of standardized testing taking for 11th grader was 15 percent of the class year and college entrance exams and career and technical courses didn't count.
