do they give standardized tests to judge appearance & cooking? i had no idea.

do you even know what a standardized test is?

Ask a teacher if they've ever had students who can do the work but don't do well on tests.

Test anxiety is one reason. Some kids don't perform well under pressure. Various handicaps are another. Boredom and inability to tolerate multiple stupid meaningless tests is yet another.
