Standardised Testing

Standardized testing is like a "one-size-fits-all" exam. It’s a test that’s given to all students in the same way, with the same questions, rules, and scoring, so that results can be compared fairly. Think of it as a way to measure how well students are learning across different schools, districts, or even countries. Examples include state exams, college entrance tests like the SAT, or international assessments like PISA. In short, it’s a tool to check student performance on a large scale, using a consistent and uniform approach.
