高中毕业考试正在影响越来越多的高中生。虽然出口测试政策颁布的目标是提高学生的成绩以及中学后的成果，他们也有潜在的负面影响。为了更好地了解退出测试政策的影响，在这篇文章中，作者系统地回顾了46项独特的研究，涉及四个领域的预期影响：学生成绩，毕业，中学后的成果，学校的反应。审查的证据表明，毕业考试产生的预期效益很少，而且与处境最不利的学生的费用有关。这项审查建议修改政策，以减轻一些负面影响。
High school exit exams are affecting a growing majority of high school students. Although exit testing polices were enacted with the goal of improving student achievement as well as postsecondary outcomes, they also have the potential for negative effects. To better understand the effects of exit testing policies, in this article the authors systematically review 46 unique studies that pertain to four domains of expected influence: student achievement, graduation, postsecondary outcomes, and school response. The evidence reviewed indicates that exit tests have produced few of the expected benefits and have been associated with costs for the most disadvantaged students. This review suggests policy modifications that may attenuate some of the negative effects.
