Oh my.
This book was a BEAST to read. The only reason it is receiving 2, and not 1 star is that the last chapters were actually somewhat interesting, discussing the legal ramifications of testing (including a blurb about how the Texas Education Agency was sued in 2000 over the TAAS. Lucky residents of Texas now have the new and improved TAKS--note the sarcasm).
I also, despite my hatred of this book, liked the discussion of career, interest and personality tests. (All 1.5 chapters devoted to it.) Since I believe these to be the tests that I will actually find myself using as a school counselor.
I now have a research-based hardened look at all the standardized tests I have ever taken or administered. My conclusion: tests suck.
