SAT

The SAT is a standardized test that pretty everyone has to take to get into to college. If they did not take the SAT then they probably took the ACT, which is another standardized test. What I think about the SAT is that it is not a good way of judging a students capability and their intelligence in certain fields because everything coms down to one test. This is not good because many people are bad test takers because they become very nervous or just freak out and freeze. This is unfair to those students because their SAT score will be low and will not be able to get to the college of their dreams. This is true about all standardized test, and my opinion is the same or all of them, they should not exist. The counter argument is "how will you then judge someone's intelligence?". My response is by their GPA for firsts and maybe their the classes they took in high school like whether they took APs, Honors, or regulars classes, and if they took AP then what their AP score was. However, the AP exam is a standardized test. What colleges should actually do is have have personal interviews. Some colleges already do this and I greatly encourage it but lets be real who really cares what I think. But still I think colleges should get a better way of judging the students that apply to their college. All I hope for is that by the time I have to start to applying for colleges that the system is much better. But, that probably won't happen. Anyways I dread taking the SAT this coming winter and hope I get a good score early so don't have to deal with this dumb system. But, now that I think about it, I will never get away from standardized testings because they are used in every field.
