Yikes. I live in NY, the people around here are crazy for testing. I don't believe in it exactly because of what they said: if you are preparing for it, it is not an accurate measure. It also set up a nasty situation where you are dividing people along economic lines. If a family can afford testing, of course they would do it to get their child in a more desirable program. There is nothing "fair" about that.
