Testing Tests, final exams, and quizzes are all part of a student’s life within school. Exams test your ability to learn specific subjects studied in many different classes, making many different tests. Suzanne Saba commented: “I don’t like tests but one thing that helps me get through is this little philosophy: If I pass, in ten years I'll be 28; and if I fail, in ten years I’ll be 28. Either way tests don't tickle my toes.” Tests are not only given in written form throughout high school or even college days, but the progress shown, the control of one’s-self, being independent and responsible are tests of ability that go on throughout your life. Cindy Jackets said: ‘The tests are hard, but no matter how you do, it doesn’t make any difference a hundred years from now. The A.C.T. and P.S.A.T. tests are very well known. These tests are prerequisite tests for many colleges which students at Cooper and many other high schools may be planning to attend in order to further their education. Tests, written or otherwise, will always play a big part in all of our lives. U. Z-7 A rOv Q Lyl l lc c y oJcr Of) £ feu- t hp Q$ next Atrs 6 4 18 Feature
