What Are Your Beliefs On Standardized Testing?

Some colleges are doing away with the SAT requirement. I don't know whether this would be considered good or bad. I have heard from many people (probably trying to cheer me up) that more creative students have a harder time taking tests. Well, yes, I am more of the creative student, so that would make sense to me. What do you think? Here in Florida, I believe that the FCAT is the most ridiculous test ever created. It's not hard at all and I ped with 4's every year that I have taken it. My problem with this test is that I believe it took away from my learning experience. For example, some teachers would only focus on the FCAT, instead of more interesting things that had to do with that subject. I'm just talking high school here, by the way. I could care less about anything below, because everyone knows it doesn't matter lol. I was never a bad student, but I always, always had problems with tests. The only subjects that I don't seem to have a problem with is anything math related. I want to major in English as a Creative Writer. This makes no sense! Lol. I recently took my PSATs again, for 11th grade. I did horribly. 53% tile. I thought I did extremely well, and I do study my stuff. It just doesn't add up to me. I've thought about taking those SAT cles, but it all seems like a waste of money. I'm already paying enough as it is taking the dumb tests. I just took my SATs this past Saturday, and I am nervous as hell. I was so confident after taking that test, but that's how I felt about the PSATs and look what happened. Overall, I know that I am very smart and that these tests do not say how intelligent I am. I mean, I can proudly tell you that I use proper grammar even when texting lol, I am a straight A student, and I've seen questions on here with horrifying grammar that I would never sucb to XD. Should these tests still be required for college? Why do you think I'm having such a problem? How should I fix this problem if I'm already studying my head off?
