When did the 2nd grade become tougher then college

Let me start with the fact that I think this test that they make the 3rd grade take is ridiculous. My 2nd grader has math benchmarks this week. He came home from school last week with 4 review sheets, plus we were reminded that this test was cumulative so we needed to review the 4 review sheets from last semesters benchmarks. He is in 2nd grade not college. Last Benchmarks he did not pass. He missed passing by 1 point, but did not get any answers wrong. He did not show some of his work. So 2+2 =4 , but if you do not draw boxes with arrows it is wrong. UGH!!!!!
