The test encourages students to live a healthy and active life.Students taking the test are really testing their limits.
China has a similar test:the physical education(PE) test.Beginning at the age of 7,students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong.They also finish activities like the endurance run,sit-ups and the shuttle run.
However,unlike students in the US who get awards,Chinese students get points in PE tests.The highest score is 100.For junior school students,the PE test is more important because it is worth 30to 40points in the entrance exam for senior high school.In order to get a good score,most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year.
