ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week to book a spring camp.
ReplyDeleteAs a student, I don't remember taking as many tests as you listed above. I have also only heard of one test, the ACT, out of all 3 tests listed. I believe school systems are relying so much on standardized testing, that it is all schools are preparing for now. This post brought me back to reality of how the schools are working now.
