In Poland we have three levels of schools: 6 years elementary, 3 years middle and 3 years high school. There are three standard tests done at the end of each level, which are the basis for the admission to the next level school. I don't see the point of making more standard tests than that - it's just an unnecessary distraction.
And yes, with Polish system you also waste some time (usually last semester) for teachers to do test-specific teaching, but that still seems better than having 6-7 standard tests per year

Even though the tests are only towards the ends of the level, most of the time prior to it is spent teaching for it as well. Except for primary, I think you get to pass that no matter what, unless there is something seriously deficient in your knowledge.
