An essential factor in a students success on standardized tests is the preparation they receive from their school and third party resources. In another article, the author talks about the unfairness of students taking the same test. The test can be seen as an equal way of evaluating students, but as
students have different educational backgrounds, anxieties, and needs, the tests become less and less baseline. The point is also made that affluent
students have many more resources than students who take the test without prep. Because of the inconsistency in test readiness, the test is not a true
test of college success. Another aspect of these tests is the essay portion. This portion cannot be graded by a machine without bias and in turn, has to
be graded by a person, although they are given a guideline on how to grade the essays objectively. While they are told to be objective, human error an
subjective reasoning can account for different grades on similar essays. The tests show bias toward different populations of students creating an
inherent unfairness.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
