In this source, the author claims that major tests with significant implication are not cooperative with student educational experience. It has been shown that performing well on a high school graduation test has had no positive effect on a state's NAEP rating, or National Assessment of Educational Progress. Furthermore, these reports show that the new tests that test reformers have attempted to institute are actually almost identical to the high school graduation exams of the past, with higher passing scores, which only further diminish the "effectiveness" of these exams. Detractors of standardized tests also point to the limited capacity of multiple choice aptitude tests, since problem solving and real world application are the tools that have proven to make a difference in today's community.
