Testing was never meant to be a part of educating. Its pretty much like the pressure that exists on professors in US to keep publishing papers. I think testing should be abolished in all schools and universities and institutions which need to filter the applicants should apply them. Standardising this would help. Entry tests make sense while I believe that we could also do without exit tests. A student after 12 years of education should be given a certificate of completion and that's it. If s/he seeks an admission into any univ. s/he should accept the testing criteria specific to that univ. This also lowers the sense of rivalry amongst children too. I agree with this.
