Standarized Tests

Standarized tests are a type of test which "determines" how smart you are, and how well you are learning something. Everyone has taken some sort of standarized test in their lifetime. Any test that is given the same way to all test takers is considered a standardized test. With these kind of tests they are all the same. It cannot be considered a standardized test, if test takers have different ersions of the test or even completely different, it is not a standardized test. I have taken many of these tests over my 13 years in school. I have taken standardized tests since the third grade. Even though the major ones start taking place in about fourth grade. One of the big standardized tests that I have had to take is the W.A.S.L. This is the Washington Assesment of Student Learning. The first time I took this test it was in the fourth grade. This is a test that determines where you're at, and in high school it used to determine whether or not you would graduate. But now the schools have a new standarized test that is very similar to the W.A.S.L.
