Wonderlic Test

research about the inequalities that students face, I found an article that stated that “the ultimate test of an educational system is whether it makes sure that every student, whatever their background, is exposed to the content they need to compete in today's society.” It was disturbing to read that “U.S. schools are failing this most basic test.” I also found an article where Gaston Caperton said “Tests are not the problem, students are not the problem. The problem we have is an unfair…

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…

From 3rd grade until 10th grade, students must past a standardized test to see if they will pass their grade. Even if they have the NCLB, which stands for “The No Child Left Behind Act, it is a federal law that provides money for extra educational assistance for poor children in return for improvements in their academic progress.” This act was put into place in 2002, and in the article from QUARTZ it says, “American families and public school teachers have been increasingly put-upon by…

1. Explain what “proctoring” means and why the UoPeople requires proctored exams: Proctoring in UoPeople means taking exams under supervision of an individual that is unbiased. The proctor's role is to make sure that the individual that is taking the exam is in fact the student that participated in the course and no one else. It is also the proctor's responsibility to make sure that the student takes the exam in a legitimate manner, without any outside help other than the material that was…

beautiful environment. This sounds so boring! Students should not have to take standardized tests because they take too much time, they are overwhelming, and teachers stress the children way too much! First of all, according to Newsela, each student spends at least 20 to 25 hours on tests each year. Parents, that is like your child getting up at twelve o’clock in the morning on a Monday and working on tests until it is twelve o’clock in the morning on Tuesday! Mind-blowing isn’t it? On top of…

addresses is the weight of failure placed upon testers. In the story, those who are chosen for the testing have severe consequences for failure. Those who do not pass certain aspects of the tests are not permitted to advance to the University. Later on in the book, Cia discovers that those who failed the tests were killed by the testing officials. The slaying of the candidates is a metaphor for getting low scores on standardized testing. For example, if someone gets a 10 on the ACT, they are…

filled standardized tests like the ACT and SAT. These tests have been a burden to students in America for more than 50 years, but now they are far more competitive and the stakes are much higher than ever before. The ACT and SAT have become one of the largest deciding factors in the college admissions process, and the inability to score high on the test could mean getting denied by your “dream college” or not being admitted into college at all. Students are taking more standardized tests than…

Standardized test plays a very important role in children’s education. Students take a standardized test at least once or twice a year. A standardized test is “a test (as of intelligence, achievement or personality) whose reliability has been established by obtaining an average score of a significantly large number of individuals for use as a standard of comparison (Webster Dictionary).” Throughout the year teacher(s) prepare the students the best way they can in order for students to become…

completely, but can we lessen the rates of cheating? Students feel the need to cheat because they aren’t comfortable with what they are learning or they’re scared to fail. If you take your time trying to teach students rather than preparing them for tests, they may not feel the need to cheat as much. Some may believe that the students don’t fully understand that cheating is wrong, they don’t know what counts as cheating, or they just don’t care anymore, but it’s actually the opposite. When faced…

I do not support the year-round school system. While there are good reasons for implementing this system, the reasons not to implement it out weigh the reasons to implement it. Test scores and curriculum taught in school is a very important thing for students, but so are things learned and experienced outside of school. Too much school could be a bad thing in the long run. There are many reasons why not to implement the year-round school system. One reason why the year-round school…
