Standardized tests should be taken away simply because students shouldn't be judged on a test score. They should be judged on how well they do on overall schooling, not just one test. Everybody learns differently, so there shouldn't be a curriculum based on test scores. It would be less funding for schools, because they can save the money they use to buy the tests, to allow other programs that will benefit the students. If students are testing, then they are losing time that could be spent learning. The downfall of this, would be a loss of jobs. Also, colleges would have a tough time deciding which students to choose, because it might be hard to choose with the GPA.
