Others worry that the pressure of doing well on a test will…

achievements, rather the student is evaluated on just the standardized test scores. This is an example of the student’s proficiency rate. When doing research, it is necessary that the researcher separates these two data interpretations because they are very different. Passing rates and average test scores tell two different things for researchers. A report that Bracey gave about a student refusing to take an Ohio state proficiency test…
