Taking standardized reading tests is one of the most hated experiences in modern organized education. It involves spending weeks, even months learning material and strategies that are specifically geared toward the test, and then having to put your skilled to the test one morning for several hours as you finally take the test that you have been worrying about, in some cases for years. Then, weeks later, you get your scores back and find out if some huge decision has been made about your life that you now can’t do anything about without taking that same literacy test over again.
