personalities and different ways of learning that works for them. For example, one student may learn better by watching somebody work out a math problem with tangible items, while another student may learn better by hearing someone speak about a topic. Tests like FCAT do not allow students to fully immerse themselves in the learning process, thus making standardized testing more difficult for students who do not necessarily fit the mold of the type-A student good at memorizing a few strategies…
this study is the rationale for using out-of-level testing. There are three main themes to this sections. The first is, overly difficult tests promote increased guessing and student frustration, which reduced the accuracy of the test results. The basic question is whether students who score low on grade level tests would score higher on lower level of the same test. To answer this question much of the research on out-of-level testing has examined the effects on raw scored and derived scores.…

grade and continues through the years of every young child’s education. It tests to see what the student has retained that year, and to make sure that the school is up to standards on what is being taught in the classrooms. While standardized testing is a good thing in making sure educators know what to teach, and it holds schools accountable for education, it is also outdated and has room for improvement. Standardized tests allows for a broad comparison of different states and school districts…

Standardized testing is the best way to improve the performance of the students and the instruction of the school. Standardized testing more or less brings changes to schools around the United States. Dawn Flanagan, Jennifer Mascolo and Steven Hardy-Braz stated in their article Standardized testing that “standardized test results provide…
standardized tests issued every year. These tests were formed to examine whether or not a student has learned enough materials and is ready to move on to the next grade-level. These tests vary in the amount of time and format, depending on the disciplines. Krishna Narra, the author of the article, “Moving beyond standardized tests,” states that some of the consequences of the standardized tests, such as TAKS, STAAR, AP, SAT, and ACT are “narrowing the curriculum, teaching to the test, pushing…
