Standardized test has a unified standard to create a test, and students will get a fair result
from that. Critical thinking is a way to think, and it includes lots of abilities. Everyone has
different thought.
I think standardized test is a fair way to everyone, and it has two characteristics are
objectivity and comparability. If you do not work on that, you will not get a good result. It
shows your many different abilities, so you can see your differences to other students.
Everyone has different background, but knowledge can change your destiny. Critical
thinking is an important thinking skill, but most of school don’t teach that. Critical
thinking is your own thing. It is hard to judge. Some people think critical thinking is more
important than standardized test. In my opinion, standardized test is more important.
Critical thinking is necessary, but reality is cruel. After you graduated, people need
something to select talents, and standardized test is the best way for that. There are lots of
people in the world. Recruiters will not have time to talk with you and know who you are.
They will choose by the results from the standardized test, and then, they will further
understand you. That is the social state, you have to follow the rule. Standardized test is
your first step to the society.
I think critical thinking is a thing can be train. School can’t teach you everything. Parents
are the best teachers. Things about emotional quotient are relate to your environments.
Critical thinking can’t be a thing to teach.
