I think school exams are adequate to measure student progress. I don't like high-stakes testing because the participants are minors and the quicker you can get these students in a community college environment, the quicker they are able to mature and know why it's important to work hard. I also don't like them because they aren't content exams, but instead are literacy tests, thus while most people are going to perform in accordance with the literacy test as to their abilities, the correlation is far from perfect as these are simply "averages" and thus aren't completely but are "highly" reliable. There just isn't that understanding; the standardized test measures their progress, but it doesn't encourage the student to strive for anything, thus I don't see how some students are as motivated as they could if the learning environment was more creative.
For instance, it is my belief that a 20 year old who is a senior in H.S. is probably going to still act like a 16 year old; having held him back isn't going to change him or her if the environment hasn't changed. If that student is instead around adults, it is more likely that he will adapt to that way of acting. I think 3/4 or 75% of the way a person acts is based on their environment rather than solely on development.
Even as an older person, I don't like pre-exams (such as LSAT, GMAT, GRE, or MCAT) because it attempts to predict how you will do in the first year of study. I especially don't like it because even if you took courses as an undeclared student (and paid all the necessary costs), the admission department still has access to the testing records, while in the undergraduate level, all you got to do is skip down to the community college, take courses, do well, and you may get to go to the college of your choice or at least the state university. Even if the admissions department at the particular school doesn't use scores from standardized tests for those who complete a year of graduate study (and forfeit any credits over 6), the mere fact that they could would prevent some from applying or from taking the courses that could lead to transferring into the program.
In other words, I have little problem with exams making a life harder for someone who doesn't pass them (i.e., larger course-load, paying out of pocket for the first year of courses, etc) but not as an exclusionary tool (not being able to graduate, not being able to go onto the next level, not being able to go to graduate school, law school, or medical school). I also don't think that as minors that wealth should be a factor in being able to get out of exams. For instance if you have failed a state standardized test, just go down to a private school or be homeschooled to avoid the tests. I am aware that in some states, homeschoolers need to take these high-stakes exams as well, thus it is something that hits the poor disproportionally. The gifted student(s) is hurt even more because the school needs these students to "raise" their score.
