PLN THREE

Today I read "How Much Do You Value Test Scores". I found this feed in "The Fishbowl". Test scores are important but I do not think that they are everything. It is important to do well on any test especially SAT'S. Determining whether someone gets into a school should not be based upon test scores.

School's always look at test scores. I think it plays an important role in whether you get into a school or not. Taking a test to get into a private school is a good example of this. When you apply to Regis you have to take a test. They calculate your score and it is important to do well on the quiz or odds are you probably won't get in.

I don't think that test scores should be that important. Test scores in general are important but they shouldn't be the main importance to schools. Some kids have difficulties taking tests and are under a lot of pressure. These kids may have excellent grades though. Schools should focus more on the actual homework grades rather than test scores.
