For the last four decades, student scores on standardized testing have dominated whether students make it into college.

Most American colleges believe that tests such as the ACT and SAT can indeed determine the path you will take after high school.

I believe these test are given too much glory.

These tests are like bricks on average high school students’ shoulders.

With the wrong score, you won’t be able to get into the Ivy League schools, or maybe not be accepted into any college.

Standardized tests are a fact of life in our school careers, but one of the most important of them all is the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

The SAT is a three-hour exam that is supposed to measure a high school student’s chance of academic success in the first year of college.

This is a major test depending on where you want to attend college or if you want to attend at all.

The ACT or American College Test is just as important as the SAT.

All colleges accept the ACT scores. Some states even require students to take this test.

The ACT is a test of knowledge and reasoning skills, rather than a test of test-taking skills.

Test taking is a skill that some master and some completely fail. Students that have test anxieties have more pressures when taking this test.

These tests influence our future successes or failures, whether we like it or not.
