The standardized test is a test administered and scored in a uniform manner, similar to those used in schools that have been designed to measure the performance of students in large groups. In practice, students take the test under strict procedures: fixed time limits, identical instructions, and multiple-choice or structured questions designed to compare results fairly across classrooms, schools, or regions. The strengths of standardized tests are that they provide large-scale data highlighting trends, identifying gaps in learning, and supporting accountability in the education system. They are efficient to administer, easy to score, and useful for comparing performance across different groups of learners. However, the weaknesses are that they tend to promote teaching-to-the-test, narrow the curriculum, and place high pressure on students. They disadvantage learners who do not perform under timed conditions well, those with test anxiety, or those whose strengths include creativity, collaboration, or practical skills that are not captured by standardized formats.
