America deserves to go downhill if this seems like a good idea.

Standardized testing is a joke. There are other, better forms of tests. See: Europe

Europe isn't a country.

France has BAC and BEPC and plenty of other forms of standardized tests at every step of its education system, as a requirement to integrate highschool or college. Same in Spain or Germany. If anything most countries in Europe have a more conservative approach when it comes to candidate selection: strict standardized tests.

All Nordic countries have (Standardized) national level testing and also have tests that have to do with the local school. All of them are top performers when it comes to education.
