Though rarely one of the student ' s favorite activities, test- ing is a necessary educational evil; for it is only through testing that the students i ora prehension of a theory or idea may be evalu- ated. Students are tested constantly through- out their academic career in a vareity of ways. The standardized test, such as the SAT., is widely used by educators to check the progress of students at various levels as compared to their peers nationwide. As the adept student soon learns, each form of testing requires its own form of studying. Thus, student ' s soon learn what to look for in studying for their various courses. The essay question requires that the stu- dent have a solid knowledge of the sub]ect, along with a good variety of supporting facts. The multiple choice and matching questions require that the student be able to recognize the answer that is most correct, even though several may be possible. This encourages the student to pay close atten- tion to detail. The fill in the blank test re- quires specific knowledge along with a gen- eral overall understanding. Obviously, dif- ferent courses lend themselves best to differ- ent styles of testing. It is the job of the student to understand a sub|ect well enough to be able to discern which facts and theories are the most important and useful Although testing may at times seem futile, it provides the student with a reason for learning mate- rial that may seem useless at the moment. However, knowledge is the most important possession any man may obtain, and testing is the instrument teachers may use to insure this knowledge is received.
