Tests = ugh :(

Tests..... ah where to begin? I personally dislike tests with great passion. Tests such as PARCC and SAT are very stressful. They put a lot of pressure on students. The students feel like they need to try their hardest, study a lot, and be the best. I think that the PARCC test is useless like the main point of it (in my opinion) is to make the school look good (with the high scores of the students.) It's a waste of time, if it's only for the school's benefit then like what's the point? That sounds bad but the PARCC doesn't make an impact on us (students), it just wastes time when we could be using that time to learning more.
These standard tests make students feel pressured to do their best, it causes stress which can sometimes lead into far worse things. Just in general, tests are hard and really stressful. When you get told about a test you suddenly ask yourself so many questions such as, what's it going to be about, how many points, when will it be, what should I study? If you're anything like me and wait till the last few days to being studying will it's very stressful! Yea, it's my fault waiting till the last day but I usually just don't want to worry about it and become all stressed out. But waiting till the last day is even more stressful. But overall standard tests, or any type of tests are just stressful and impact kids so much.
