Standardized test (advantages and disadvantages) peer review
Hi Carissa,

After reading your contributions to the advantages and disadvantages section of the Standardized test article, here are my suggestions for improvement: 1. Although the second paragraph under Advantages explains the 3 metrics by which the A+ countries are measured, I'm not sure it's entirely necessary to go that in depth. I got a little lost reading that paragraph but I see why some explanation was needed to make your final point at the end of the paragraph about Common Core Standards trying to fix the discrepancy. I think maybe being more concise with the explanation towards the beginning of that paragraph will help you keep the reader's attention. 2. Your second to last paragraph under Advantages about standardized tests being claimed to be misused seems like it should be split into 2 parts with the criticism in the Disadvantages section and the part about testing focusing on resources in the Advantages section. 3. It might be worth breaking up your 2 sections with sub-headings or by making each advantage/disadvantage a separate bullet point. I think this would make it easier for the reader to locate specific information and would make the large sections less cumbersome.

Overall, I thought you did a great job keeping a neutral tone and presenting different points of view. I also thought you took advantage of linking to other articles, which makes your writing even more informative. Wu.emily (talk) 23:33, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
