No. If you are in my class, your grade count for only 20% of your total. 80% of your grades are from daily performance.
Tests only tell us how well you do on timed paperwork.

I'm in high school, and what I've noticed is that most classes don't do much to nurture creativity in students (unless it's an art, music or drama course, obviously). There is a course devoted to writing in grade 12 that I plan on taking, but regular English classes don't let students be creative at all, and that causes problems for some students. Some minds just need to sprawl, but the curriculum puts up walls and hallways.

I suppose grading, scoring sets a certain benchmark in the society to judge our performance in terms of knowledge on certain things. However, it is not a good enough system to judge a person's personality or intelligence level. It would be a good set of estimation however it may not be accurate. A person's IQ and EQ would very well surpass those simple formula for we are always changing and are more complex.

No, but it might determine your salary. And your salary determines what kind of lifestyle you have.
It's not machines who evaluate you, it's the people who make up the tests. And it's not only your knowledge is being evaluated, it is your ability to learn quick and work hard.
Of course, you can be a still be a fine person while being lazy and generally useless, but it is kinda hard.
PS About creativity - you can't use that to judge a person, at least not objectively.

Yes, grades define you definitively. But you can escape this nonsense with an online appeal to alien astronauts, who will value you more for your contributions to human and galactic welfare than by the B- you got in Chemistry because you stayed up late watching Jimmy Kimmel. Don't be a moron - Kimmel is lame!

NO. albert einstein have an IQ of 132 but that didn't define him did it? grades are nothing but numbers.
When the temperature is 0 degrees outside, does it define how cold it is?
What they do everyday -good or bad - is what really define us.
