Standardized assessment tools

Standardized assessment tools are structured methods used to evaluate a person's skills, knowledge, or functioning in a consistent way. They involve standardized procedures and scoring systems, ensuring that everyone is tested under similar conditions. These tools help professionals, such as teachers or clinicians, obtain reliable and fair measurements to understand an individual’s strengths and challenges. Examples include academic tests, psychological questionnaires, and health assessments. By using standardized tools, decision-making is based on objective data rather than personal opinions, enabling accurate diagnosis, progress tracking, and appropriate planning for support or intervention.
