My name is Mayra Ordonez and I’m a junior communications major with a communication studies focus. I am against standardized testing because I don’t think the standardization of tests is a good way to measure students’ knowledge in subject matters.

People have different learning styles, and therefore have different ways of understanding and applying those concepts to real life experiences. A standardized test can be great for some people, but could be the end for another person. Taking standardized tests versus writing essays are some of the most common ways students get graded on. Some of the most well known tests –SATs- are some of the hardest exams any American student will have to take eventually. However the SATs are all about learning how to take them –
