For Becky's questions about standardized testing:
I think my response to standardized testing is the same as everyones, annoyance. Though I dislike these tests and testing in general I strive to do my best on them. I eat a hearty breakfast and attempt to get extra sleep the night before (I'm often nervous if I know it's an important test and tend to get less sleep because of it.) I don't think taking these tests proves much and I don't think that future generations will care all that much if I pass them because it's almost expected. My peers and I are first expected to graduate high school, then gain a college degree, if we don't chances are high that we won't get the job we want. I feel these tests are unnecessary. Why can't we just pass the ACT or the SAT and be done with it already?

Interestingly, the ACT and SAT are measures rather than pass or fail. You get a score that assesses your "brilliance" or your brilliance at test taking:)
