As a future teacher, let me just give my brief opinion on this; NO, NO, NO, BAD, STOP DOING THAT.

Since that's pretty much what every single teacher pounds into my head.

As I told Jem, I like standardized tests! Just think of how bad my grades would have been if I had to actually prove I knew the answer, not just circle a dot that seemed familar!

(Honestly, I did about the same on both tests if I like the subject. If I didn't like the subject though, GIVE ME MULTIPLE CHOICE. Often could get 10 points difference between the two. Which can be a LOT.)

No there's nothing wrong with multiple choice tests but those are different than standardized tests. You're thinking of something different. Standardized tests are those things that you probably took in tenth grade with a huge booklet and spent the entire day/morning working on. The teacher read you the directions aloud and then you would open your booklet and have to read a blurb about something and then answer a few questions about it, then move on to the next blurb and continue the process for a monotonous few hours. It's not something your actual teachers could give you to take, it's on a state/nation-wide scale, depending on which test you were taking.
