Map Testing

We had Map Testing last week. I think I did pretty well. They made me feel worried at first. But after I finished the first test my problems vanished. During each test I felt sick. I just wanted to finish as fast as possible. I tried to read each question and understand them perfectly, but I just couldn't. I think it was the nerves. Each time I received my overall grade I felt happy and not as dumb as I thought I was.

This "Map Testing" thing is, in my opinion, a great thing. Even though I don't like them very much I think it's something good our school is making us do.
I know this test is something good because they show how much I've improved or not. If I'm not doing well they can help me catch up with everybody else and go on for a good future. If I've improved they can keep giving me the education I need and keep improving. I think we should keep taking this tests as we always do. But of course, they should keep getting harder every time as we grow and become smarter. Map testing helps us a lot.
If I would change anything about map testing it would be to make less questions. I would say like 30 questions max. I think 45 is too many questions for a test. Other than that I don't think I would change anything else.
