If we have to have standardized testing, which is debatable at best, it should look to basic literacy and numeracy. Broad-based testing can't test well things like critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, organizational skills, etc. Those things can be assessed by teachers in classroom but standardized tests can't properly guage those skills.
