  水平考试 featured remark

  • It’s high time to realize that standardized tests are overhyped. While educational institutions compete in training their students to become even better test takers, skills that are difficult to quantify in test results—like lab talent—are increasingly being neglected.
  • let’s not forget the reality of science: Students don’t become brilliant scientists by being excellent in doing the same things other people do. They become brilliant scientists by being excellent in doing different things than other people. And we will never be able to measure that in standardized tests
  • Standardized tests can help provide a solid floor of academic achievement, but we must be very careful that it doesn’t produce an artificially low ceiling as well!
