This book points out that any testing scheme creates inequities and tests are of special concern due to the emphasis society places on high school graduation; a society cannot accept their potential to mark a student for life. It discusses that the goals of minimum competency testing are laudable.

Mitchell Lazarus earned a master's degree in electrical engineering and a doctorate in psychology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while on its teaching staff. He spent six years working at the Education Development Center in educational television, mathematics curriculum, and testing and is now a consultant in the Washington, D.C., area. He has published many articles on math education, math anxiety, and testing.
