I do think we should have some sort of test. Though I do not think they should count as to wheter a kid will graduate from high school. That is just wrong.

We used to take the stanford 9 tests. They were insanely hard. I usually only got into the 80th percentile. They got rid of those and we took the WESTESTS last year and they were very easy and i ended up with pefect score in 3 out of 4 subjects and missed 2 questions in the other.

ya I flat lucked out back in 8th grade by not showing up for them. then sophmore year I took them and did ok. that was the last one until the SAT's which blows but in the end is useless because you can go to the shitiest college on earth, get good grades and transfer to harvard.
