Hi I'm doing a revised version of the "Not Fun Test". The reason I chose it was because it had a lot of errors. Also I didn't use vivid words. So hope you enjoy the new version.
Have you ever wondered why we have to take so many tests? A test does not teach us anything, but a test asks us questions. Classes teach us things that we get tested on. So lets pretend that you just started school and on the first day you take a test. So you didn't get to do classwork. But the next day you got another test, well you didn't do classwork so you weren't prepared. Also they ask us things we haven't learned yet. So don't make us take any tests until the end of the year.
Even though we do not like tests we still have to take them . Tests tell our teacher if we're doing okay. But why do we have to take so many test? We could just take the important ones and pass grade. Even though they're important we still hate them. Because we get nervous , bored ,and tired of sitting around doing nothing.
So do you like my new version?
Your revised version is much better because of your insight. I can tell you put your thoughts into your writing (musing about what you wrote).
Your voice came through and we can all learn from this post.
Keep up the hard work!

I agree with your view on tests! Tests require you to memorize information, not learn it- school's need to find new ways of testing students for what they've learned. A practical test- like a driving test- is much better because you can SHOW what you've learned, instead of a fill in the blanks test where only memorization is required.
