Nowadays, schools and colleges are focusing on standardized testing. This affects students in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side, we can see many people becoming our competitors, which encourages us to study harder and work diligently to compete with them and achieve top prizes. However, the negative side is that some students do not enjoy competition; they prefer to be themselves in school. Nonetheless, feeling a sense of competition can motivate us to give our best to achieve good scores, which is important for the future. People will recognize how the intellectual world operates, and that sense of competition can lead to success. This is why it is essential to foster a sense of competition. While it may not be enjoyable for everyone to feel like they are in competition, for the majority, it can be a positive experience. Ultimately, the focus on standardized testing can drive students to excel, but it is important to consider the diverse perspectives of all students regarding competition.
