School testing has been the same for over 150 years . In more then a century nothing has changed , it would be ignorant to think that having a student that is on less then 8 hours of sleep to sit down in a class room to read and answer correctly over 140 questions in a day . Its ignorant to think that a child will have a higher potential of getting the answers correct when they are pressured into achieving a higher grade then every other student around them . It would be foolish to believe that you can measure a child intelligent with a stander test . If we must have testing please make them less cruel and understand that 9 year old children dose not have the mental capability to sit still for hours and "bubble in the correct answers " .
