The Keystone exam is a new standardized test that began in the 2012-2013 School Year and covers Algebra, Biology, and Literature. These exams may sound good but when you dig deeper, it is a horrible exam for our Youth. Due to these exams, The student's curriculum in School is based around these exams, and not to a student's needs. If a student fails these exams, they will not graduate high school, but rather get a certificate of attendance just for being at school. These exams are set to fail our youth. Many Parents, and School Districts are against these exams as they believe these will not help a student's education. I believe that these exams are only treating our youth like statistics and not human beings. These exams will decrease the number of people with high School Diplomas.
