I was never good at testing, period. I got my schooling in India and studying meant memorizing text books and regurgitating in tests.

Instead of eliminating one type of testing why not invent ways to test ones strengths where they lie. Some squares will never fit through a circle. That, in my humble opinion, would be true equality.
