Standardized Testing in Schools for both Primary and Secondary 

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Education – Educational Tests & Measurements, grade: Summa Cum Laude, , course: Masters in Education (Advanced Teaching for Elementary, Middle and Secondary), language: English, abstract: The following essay will examine standardised testing that has been used throughout the world and in many countries, especially in America. We use these tests regularly and consistently in International Schools to gather information, and data about students especially in Mathematics, English (Literacy), and General Sciences. Most teachers use these to establish reading abilities for students in English in Primary (Elementary) Schools before they enter Secondary (Middle & High) schools. Schools abroad will continue to use standardised tests to allow students to achieve their goals by setting specific targets for them to achieve. These are monitored closely to allow institutions to make adequate provisions for their educational needs.
