MAP testing.... a joke

I have too many complaints about the map test to write them all down but here are the biggest ones.
1. The tests are ridiculously easy, which isn't a bad thing when taking them, but theres just not really a point in my mind.
2. They give us 4 hours to take a test which takes most of 25 minutes (maybe the ACT should look into this, since that test actually matters)
3. There is absoutly no incentive for us to even try, really what do we get out of this? NOTHING
4. The Juniors get completly screwed because not only have we taken this the last two years, next year when we were scheduled to get to stay home and sleep in until 1130 for a week, they decided to make this the last year, so the one good thing MAP testing creates, they get rid of it right before the juniors get to take advantage of it.
The Royals are 2-0 and are winning their third game right now in the bottom of the 6th, and just like i said earlier in this blog, we are going to be good, and maybe even better than i thought. If we can get no name pitches such as Brian Bannister to pitch 7 scoreless innings giving up only two hits we will be at the top of the AL central come september. i know this is only two games but atleast its a start we have only been 2-0 twice since 1993 so something is going right
