yo, this is my summary. hopefully useful for you.

The  Long  History  of  High-Stakes  Test

In  my  opinion,  the  way  Gilead  Garda  challengged  the  fugitives  from  tribe  of  Ephraim  was  wrong.  It  is  so  absurb  that  Gilead  dragged  away  and  killed  them  just  cause  they couldn’t  pronounce  the  H  and  said  “Sibboleth”  instead  of  “Shibboleth” . That  was  a crazy  thing  forty-two  thousand  people  of  Emphraim  died  there  because  couldn’t mention  the  letter   H  well. That’s  also  not  fair  if  the  tribe  of  Ephraim  must  to  abandonet  their  test  algother because  they  don’t  have  opportunity  to  learn  how  to  pronounce  “shibboleth”  correctly. As  we  know  the  purpose  of  the  test  is  to  find  out  our  ability and  to  know  what  skill  that  we  already  have . If  we  failed  the  test, we  can  improve  it  in  the  next  test. So  how  we  know  it  without  testing  first,  no  testing  also  no  improvement,  and  the  people  of   Emphraim   never  know  their  ability  and  weakneses. They  need  experiences,  because  experience  is  the  great  teacher  for  all  of  us  in  the  world.

I  totally  disagree  with  that  role, i  think  cannot  pronounce  H  it’s not  a  big  deal  anyway  because  that  will  not  influences  their  other  expertises.  If  they  have  high  competence,  they  suitable  passing  the  test  base  on  their  ability. If  they  are  not  passed it, they  may  have  second  chance. The  most important  values  on  test  is  the  way  they answer  the  questions,  how  they  proficiency  in  answering  question  during  interview,  and  how  they  interest  examiner  to  choose them  passing  the  test.

About  the  tribe  of  Ephraim  who  cannot  pronounce  the  H, they  may  have  special course  among  2-3  month,  if  there  is  no  improvement  at  all,  the  government  should select  other  test  for  them.  I  suggest  the  examiner  have to looking  for  the  better  standard  for  that  test.  Because  the  requirements  that  deserve  will  show  the  quality  of the  test.

About  High-stakes  test,  properly  before  the  test  begin  they  mention  what  should  be prepared  for  the  test.  So  the  failure  of  test  can  be  avoided  with  good  preparation. The assessment  is  not  only  in  one  side  but  in  generally. On  the  other  hand,  it’s  not  fully examiner  fault  if  the  role  of  the  test  is  not  effective  and  nonsense,  because  they  just follow  the  rule  that  have  been  there.
