standardized testing

Standardized testing refers to a method of measuring students' knowledge and skills using uniform procedures and scoring systems. These tests are designed to be administered and scored in a consistent way, allowing for comparisons across different individuals or groups. They can assess general knowledge in various subjects and often play a role in educational assessments, college admissions, and accountability measures for schools. The goal is to provide an objective measure of student performance, although they can also spark debates about their effectiveness, fairness, and impact on teaching methods.
