The same questions and/or tasks are required of
each test-taker
The same information is provided to each test-
taker immediately before and during the test
Each test-taker has the same amount of time
allowed to take the test
Responses are scored in the same way

For this reason, standardized tests are often also
referred to as large-scale assessments

In practice, large-scale testing has led to some limitations.
In theory, standardized tests are not limited to any
particular assessment approach. They just need to be
standard in their approach.
But in practice, standardized tests usually use easy-to-
score and easy-to-administer kinds of items, such as
multiple choice and short answer. This is because of the
large-scale in which they are used and the cost and
complication of scoring other more complex forms of
student work.

Reliance on multiple-choice items limits the
depth at whicha test can probe for students’
understanding and thinking.
This is one reason why standardized test scores
should not be the only measure of a student’s
knowledge and performance.

standardized tests

comparing a student’s score to that of other
students)

how well the student has mastered the content
of the test).
