Semester Tests

Semester tests are just around the corner. Having had to take one in every class since fifth grade, I am sick and tired of them. I think that kids should have the option to take a semester test if they have an A in that particular class. Any grade below an "A" can be helped by a semester test but not an "A". Having an "A" before a semester test and a "B" after one is a horrible feeling no one should have to go through. The tests cause a student to risk his or her "A" based on the time they study. They could use this time to study more for semester tests in classes they do not have an "A" in, but with the current system this is not possible. This is why I believe semester tests should only be required in classes in which a students does not have an "A".
