The only reliable way to get a good grade on US standardized tests is to [ get the latest textbooks from the three publishers that make the tests ]( http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/07/why-poor-schools-cant-win-at-standardized-testing/374287/ ) . Wealthy areas can afford to provide these books. Poor areas can't. So the tests are an excuse to call poor children stupid, and a scam to benefit those publishers.
