The major strength of the IQ tests is that it provides a rough estimate of the ability of a test taker. I personally do not test well even though I know the material I seem to get nervous and overthink the information. The results of these kind of tests are used to estimate future performance. The IQ test can tell us, predict and test what weaknesses are for a child under 8 years old might have. I believe that the IQ test determines whether or not someone is smart or not. Although, that might not

Standardized tests are annoying little things that students in schools all across the nation have to take every year. Though, if all the facts are taken into consideration, they do not really seem worth it, do they? Many people speculate whether or not they are actually measuring a student’s intelligence or anything like that. It seems that students do not necessarily have to learn the material, only memorize it for a short period of time. The question has to be raised, though-- what exactly

In tests and assessments validity refers to the degree where theoretical and empirical evidence supports the meaning and interpretation of the test scores (Reynolds & Livingston, 2013). Validity is important in testing and assessment as validity refers to credibility from a trustworthy source. In this respect, validity is important for scientist and professionals to select appropriate methods that support the meaning and interpretation of test scores.

In the article “What do standardized tests actually test?” (2014) in the name of Marion Brady as quoted by Valerie Strauss, the topic of: are standardized tests accurately testing is discussed.

The story begins on the day of the Aptitude test, a specific test that helps members of a futuristic society, choose a faction out of the five faction Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the kind and peaceful), Dauntless (the brave and fearless), Erudite (the intelligent), and Candor (the honest). Sixteen year old Beatrice Prior is warned not to inform anyone about her test result not even her family, because she is divergent. On the day of the choosing ceremony, the day all sixteen year olds decide

you received or to something about you? Who gets to decide what it means? Is it a standardized test? Is it our test scores or memorization of facts? How much or how well we can remember at a given point in time? How much knowledge we ought to have? What could it possibly be? I think this society has given “Well Educated" a poor definition. Sitting in a class for a long time does not make us educated. Test scores does not make us educated neither does reading faster than others or solving mathematical

one element that separates these students from his or her dream school- standardized test scores. This one test score could be the difference between attending an Ivy League school or an average level school. In most cases, the best way to succeed on these tests is with the help of expensive practice books or a tutor. However, many students cannot afford these tools, and as a result, will not do well.

Judging a student’s future off of a test that is not structured around their personal abilities is not fair. Every student is not the same, therefor should not be tested like so. It is important to keep in mind that 13% of high school students have a learning disability and many students just have a hard time taking test. Looking at a response to the New York Times blog “How Well Do You Think Standardized Test Measure Your Abilities?”. Lauren states that she had been a 4.0 student throughout her

Standardized tests are discriminatory because they don’t take cultural backgrounds, experiences, or personal lives into account, which leaves students at a disadvantage, which is why standardized tests are more damaging than beneficial to students. According to www.commondreams.org, in New York City, ELL students make up 14.4% of the student body population, and are expected to take a standardized exam between 7 and 8 times before passing. Only about 39.1% of these students end up graduating from
