Reduce Standardized Testing in Public Schools Across America.

I'm high school student who ranks 4th in a class of 688, and I am well acquainted with standardized tests. One test on a given day can determine whether we graduate, with no review of grades or earned credits. Students could be having a bad day because of illness, emotional stresses associated with family or even not sleeping well the night before. Many suffer from anxiety or other conditions which keep a person from testing well. These tests also take much time from the school day. Countless days are spent preparing for these tests and that takes away from the true learning. Is my education about being able to learn and excel in the workforce or to be good at taking tests? I quite hope that I would be judged by my accomplishments rather than a score on one test. I'm more than a number.
