I think testing in school is important because it does train you and you get practice to take exams in college. Education isn't heavily relied on testing but it does take up a good majority of it. If there weren't any tests in school, there would be a lot of higher grades but no one would really pay close attention and study. Memorizing the criteria for tests is what makes you remember and further your knowledge. Teachers wouldn't know if you grasped their topic because homework is different than testing. Homework you can use your book or take it home and work on it there. Tests is completely relying on your ability to remember and memorize the criteria. I think standardized testing is important for those who will go to college. I think there's a fair standardized test for everyone because some people don't take the same classes as others. I personally am not a good test taker. I have poor memorization. I am that person that "just doesn't do well on tests" so I do struggle with them but I do understand that they are important.
