How I Feel About The HSPA

The HSPA was taken by me last year. I passed both parts with flying colors. However, i feel as though students should not be based off of tests to determine whether or not they should graduate high school. The most intelligent people can crack under the pressure of a standardize test. HSPA's also aren't that good because , they sometimes have things on the test that teachers may not have taught. The test also words things very differently than what teachers teach. I feel as though the HSPA was very easy. Students should do tests with the teachers , and talk about what they learned as apposed to sitting in a room for hours on a standardized test. Some students cant sit in one place for a matter of hours. It is not fair for people to have to sit in a room and read about something they don’t even know and be held back from graduating idf they do not pass it.
