Abstract
Since World War II high school students have become increasingly used to government imposed standardized testing: its language, its implications, its impact. Graduation tests and college admissions tests like the SAT are hotly disputed, but the Advanced Placement testing program is a breath of fresh air in comparison and not only is it praised by many but it is actively expanding. The College Board has created both the SAT and the AP programs and is prepared to defend and praise each one indiscriminately, and to insist that America needs tests. Most standardized tests are unqualified to say anything meaningful about students' inspiration but the AP program has redeeming qualities which demonstrate the benefits of taking the focus of education back to motivation and challenge and away from tests and numbers.
