Tests may be the most unpopular part of academic life.Students hate them because they produce fear and 31 about being evaluated，and focus on grades instead of learning for learning’s sake.
But tests are also valuable.A well-constructed test 32 what you know and what you still need to learn.Tests help you see how your performance 33 that of others.And knowing that you’ll be tested on 34 material is certainly likely to 35 you to learn the material more thoroughly.
However，there’s another reason you might dislike tests You may assume that tests have the power to 36 your worth as a person.If you do badly on a test，you may be tempted to believe that you’ve received some 37 information about yourself from the professor，information that says you’re a failure in some significant way.
This is a dangerous—and wrong-headed—assumption.If you do badly on a test，it doesn’t mean you are a bad person or stupid.Or that you’ll never do better again，and that your life is 38 .If you don’t do well on a test，you’re the same person you were before you took the test—no better，no worse.You just did badly on a test.That’s it.
39 ，tests are not a measure of your value as an individual—they are a measure only of how well and how much you studied.Tests are tools；they are indirect and 40 measures of what we know.
