Standardized tests are predictable and coachable and can be a great formative life lesson: students set goals, train for them, then, ideally, meet (or exceed) them. Learning the content and improving performance may lead to improved test scores but they are also great life lessons.

Without a common benchmark which they are familiar with, like an ACT or SAT, how is the admission committee of a school to evaluate students. They are certainly not always equipped to understand the academic rigour of an international school which they aren’t familiar with.

I think a lot of the controversy comes from the overtesting imposed by the No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top programs. These programs created a movement of people (mostly moms and dads of stressed out kids and teachers like me) who advocated to get rid of testing entirely. But let’s take a breath and work toward scaling back unnecessary testing rather than getting rid of the valuable tests that have made our society safer and fairer.

How else can a college compare two students from different states taking completely different classes?
