the idea that they have you study for these tests make the tests faulty as they do not test what you actually know, but what you know at that time.

the whole idea of standardized testing is completely bonkers to me but it is what it is. what fucking good is me knowing some slimy math problem in history grad school? why do liberal arts masters programs even care about that 10th grade algebra shite? and yet they're all gonna penalize me because i can't divide and add and multiply square roots in my head. its cracked.
