Imo standardized tests get a bad rap. Dumb fucks do bad on them, and smart kids figure out how to do well- even if the content is fucked.

Not too bad of a filtering mechanism if you ask me.

Grades are just a metric. People are trained to chase the metric and forget the real goal wich should be improving your education.
