    As a current student of your Accounting 387 course I can agree with the implications of concern with exams and also agree that often exams do not necessarily reflect students abilities due to the time constraints as well as the stress and pressure that students are under during examination time. I feel that a take home exam is better assessment to evaluate student’s capabilities and knowledge of the subject but I would find it nieve of you to believe that classmates wouldn’t assist one another in completing the exam. I can honestly say that if faced with difficultly I completing my take home exam and my final grade depended heavily a pond it I would definitely consult with other classmates to get it done.…

    Standardized tests also create unnecessary stress for students. These tests require students to study or cram for many hours and puts them in a demanding social setting where they are forced to answer difficult questions. “Minority test takers experience anxiety, believing that if they do poorly on their test they will confirm the stereotypes about inferior intellectual performance of their minority group. As a result, a self-fulfilling prophecy begins, and the child performs at a level beneath his or her inherent…

    After the 18 kids have taken, and passed, the exam, their test scores are questioned by the Educational Testing Service for two reasons: (1) it seems extremely unlikely that all of these kids could pass the exam without cheating, and (2) they all suspiciously made some of the same mistakes. Because we have been through the movie and the experience with the kids, we know they were not cheating. But the ETS authorities cannot be blamed for their suspicions. What the screenplay needed, I think, was at least one speech in simple, clear dialogue, explaining what I assume to be true: The kids all made the same mistake because their teacher made that mistake in teaching them. There is a scene in the movie that seems to suggest this possibility; the teacher comes up with an assertion that everyone in the classroom tells him is wrong, but he won't back…

    Some students may have decent grades but fall short when it comes to test taking. These students could have a difficult time achieving the scores they strive to get. Standardized tests take up an enormous amount of time to get through. They have a stupendous amount of information that they cover. Students have to study for numerous days in order to prepare for these tests. Most students are not able to keep all of the information in their head and end up forgetting most of it. They may know the information well, but forget it all under the pressure of standardized tests.…

    I believe this because, some students may know the material but, just can’t perform it on the test due to nervousness. For example, let’s say a student has studied all night and day long for the past few days for the test and feels as if he is ready but, once the test is given to the student they just happen to forget everything they have prepared for.…

    This is a sublime example, and I agree with James’s views on these tests. The education system should teach kids to chase after excellence, not grades or a number on a timed test. Those things are meaningless if the students don’t grasp knowledge and end up losing their imagination.…

    Students approach these standardized tests in a different ways. Some will study intensely to know the material because they want to do well on the test and often know how important they are to their success. Others will also study throughout the year or prior to the test but could allow their nerves to take over or exhibit such concern or fear over the test that they do not do well. The results of these tests are important but more is factored into them than just how well someone does on them. Being prepared, knowing the material, having good test taking skills, and a good attitude or being less stressed play a large part on the test score.…
