of standardized tests are answering affirmatively to what the questions has asked. These days schools are using this method to measure one’s brilliance. Although standardized tests show the fundamental‚ basic knowledge of students‚ they are not necessary because they do not go indepth into a student’s knowledge and using those scores to decide their future is not reasonable.
