Good question. I am a teacher and I don't think tests really show how smart you are. Children (and adults) are smart in different ways so I think the question we need to be asking is not "how smart you" are but "how are you smart." For example there are people who dance really well. There are people who sing really well. There are people who write really well. There are people who can coordinate clothes really well. Tests never measure the things like that, which I think count for a lot.

Thank you for answering, I agree!
I think tests do not show how smart you are. Tests just tell if you listen in class or not. The having tests might be a good review.

They probably don't because you might be very smart and make a tiny mistake. I agree and these test makers should think about what this test is for.
