"TESTING"
BY: Hillary Merriweather



As we all know we have been taking Star Math, Star Reading, and graduation exams (AHSGE). Well, do you know why you take these tests?  You take the graduation exam to better you off in the future. Star Math and Star Reading are taken to show the state, school board, and etc. how well you do in reading and math. So, when you take the AHSGE you have plenty of time left to take it until you're a senior. If you fail the exam, in the 12th grade, you come to try to pass again, in order to graduate. Star Reading scores are very low. It doesn't look good for the school or for you. If you love to read then why do the state, school board, and etc. think you're reading on a lower level than usual? Come on at least try to pass this test. When you do not pass it you put yourself in intervention. Star Math is just the same as Star Reading. If you know you have people who just can't do it, reach out a hand and help them out. Whether you like them or not. If we all pitch in and try to help each other maybe we could better around the next time. Thanks for all your time.
