Standardized tests are designed to serve the needs of the school. Such tests let the teacher and school system assess multiple students efficiently and -- theoretically -- "fairly." They aren't actually designed to serve the needs of students.
But they want check-a-box tests. They even went to complain to administration because they weren't getting any. Apparently, I'm asking erroneous [sic!] questions in class. You despair, you do.
I took a college class. Environmental Biology, iirc. We were running out of time and the professor announced she would be cutting a few things from the curriculum.
Everyone was all "Hurrah! Yes! Less work! Feel free to cut even more and just give us As for doing nothing!"
Except me. I was the killjoy going "What if you actually need to know this stuff for a future class? Or even your job?!"
Everyone gave me the stink eye. I'm such a party pooper.
On the contrary, if you've ever looked for programming help on stack overflow you'll be quite familiar with the real life experience of being presented with a right answer and 4 or more decoys.
Overall, if your question has an answer there, it's not a hard one...
The problem is that tests tend to be subverted into tools for ranking the students, which doesn't serve their learning.
In actual practice, they tend to not be used that way.
