Since school comes into being， the test standard has been used to appraise performance of students. So far it is still being used， which may suggest that actually there are some advantages in it. However， it is also highly possible that the test standard is a not ideal way to find out what students have learned and what they haven't. Most school is still using it just because there is no better method to replace it.

　　In my opinion， the following three points are the critical flaws in the test standard.

　　One of the most harmful effects on the test method is that it will force us to study just for passing tests， not for acquiring knowledge especially in China. Obviously the final object of education is making us intellective by learning more knowledge. While the test is only a way to examine the level of students' studies， it has been deteriorated to a sifter deciding the fate of students. Why can it be called a terrible sifter？ Now in the tests， which decide who can enter a higher school， thousands of poor students， who want a splendid future， must prepare for the tests by finishing a great deal of practices. Those practice tests are heavy-laden to them. So in this case， how can they be expected to study to obtain knowledge？ To them that are enough if they can reach the level which tests need. In the end what our nation will get， genuine persons with ability or just test robots？

　　Secondly， tests will bring the examinees great pressure， which can affect their lives. A typical example of this is that most young students have worn glasses even though some of them are still children. For preparing for tests， they must spend a lot of time on doing their homework so that their eyesight becomes worse and worse. And the more time they spend on those， the less time they have for playing and relaxing. Consequently， there is a bad influence on their health.

　　Thirdly， in fact， test system itself can not veraciously estimate who is better than others because there are many factors impacting the results of test. For instance， someone cheated in test so that his score would be higher than others. Or someone who was too nervous to perform well fell in the test.

　　Only in spare time and no pressure of tests existent， students can study simply for the fun， for obtaining knowledge and for the things that they are really interested in. But now the test system is the only way to select which one is better， who can reach better school and who can get good job. Then what we can do is to improve the test system or hope that something better will be invented and replace the test system.

自从学校产生以来，测试标准已被用来评价学生的表现。到目前为止仍在使用，这可能表明，实际上有一些优势。然而，它是也极有可能，测试标准是不理想的方式来找出什么学生学到，什么他们没有。大多数学校仍然使用它，只是因为有没有更好的方法来取代它。

在我看来，以下三点是测试标准中的关键缺陷。

对测试方法的一个最有害的影响是，它将迫使我们学习只是为了通过测试，而不是获取知识，特别是在中国。显然，教育的最终目标是使我们的学习更多的知识智力。而测试只是一种检测学生的学习水平，它已经恶化到筛决定命运的学生。为什么它可以被称为一个可怕的筛？现在的测试，而决定谁能进入高等学校，成千上万的贫困学生，谁想要一个美好的未来，必须准备测试通过完成一个伟大的处理的做法。那些练习考试是沉重的负担。因此，在这种情况下，他们如何能期望学习获得知识？如果他们能够达到的水平，这是足够的，如果他们可以达到的水平，测试需要。到底我们国家将获得什么，真正的人有能力或只是测试机器人？

其次，测试将考生的压力很大，这会影响他们的生活。这是一个典型的例子是，大多数年轻学生都戴眼镜，尽管他们中的一些人仍然是儿童。为了准备考试，他们必须花费大量的时间做家庭作业，使他们的视力变得越来越差。他们花的时间越多，他们玩和放松的时间就越少。因此，对他们的健康有不利的影响。

再次，事实上，测试系统本身不能准确估计是比别人更好，因为有许多因素影响的试验结果。例如，有人在考试中作弊，所以他的分数会比别人高。或者是一个太过紧张的人在测试中表现得很好。

只有在业余时间，没有压力的测试存在，学生可以学习的乐趣，获得知识和对他们感兴趣的东西，他们是真正感兴趣的。但现在的测试系统是唯一的方法来选择哪一个是更好的，谁能到达更好的学校和谁可以得到好工作。那么我们可以做的是改进测试系统，或者希望更好的东西会被发明出来，取代测试系统。
