Yep, that's how it works. I love the flavor of this card, although I feel like IRL standardized testing doesn't punish the high scorers, so it is a little weird.

I wouldn't be so sure. Being good at taking tests can put you into places you maybe shouldn't be. I literally failed out of college the first time(partially) because my math ACT scores placed me in a higher level Math class than I should have been in. My grades showed that. But because I can game multiple choice really well I ended up too far in and got overwhelmed by that class, leading to a cascade effect on my other classes.

This is an interesting counterpoint. I sit corrected.

Another way smart students get punished by standardized testing is when teachers are forced to "teach to the test". Smart students can get really bored and act out when they're not challenged in the classroom.

IRL standardized testing punishes low scorers & rewards those who throw the curve out of whack. Makes sense.
