    Standardized tests are tests that require each student to

    answer the same set of “standard” questions, and are graded


    in a uniform and consistent manner

    Uhh, who likes Exams? But still, we have to write them as


    these exams are an integral part of our lives. There is a term
    for Exams conducted in Schools. This term is Standardized
    testing. Before we delve into a fruitful Debate on the
    advantages and Disadvantages of Standardized Testing.
    Hello My name Is Arjun Varier, and I will be talking on the topic
    Standardized Testing should be abolished in School.
    Before Discussing about Standardized testing, we need to
    understand what is standardized testing.
    Standardized tests are tests that require each student to
    answer the same set of “standard” questions, and are graded
    in a uniform and consistent manner

    First I will be talking for the topic which is Standardized


    Testing in schools should be abolished.

    1) Students learn to the test, meaning they will ignore any


    information or learning opportunities that are not part of the
    upcoming test.
    This leads to mugging about the Subject and not learning or gaining
    any experiences. This leads to low experience to face the problems
    of Life.

    2) Many children in a school are suffering from learning


    disabilities, thus they are not able to fully understand and learn
    the topic. When its Exam time they are not able to perform
    well as other students in the class. In this case they should be
    provided with a test paper which caters to their abilities. In this
    way we would be able to understand the potential of the child.
    3) A single test score does not provide a comprehensive
    overview of a student’s abilities and value. It may happen that
    the student is not able to perform well in a certain subject but
    has performed exceptionally well in an another subject. Also
    Standardized exams are not able to measure a Students
    Emotional Quotient, which is an imperial factor in life.

    Now I will be talking about the Disadvantages of Abolishing


    Standardized tests in Schools:-

    1) Standardized Testing helps in creating a standard to test the


    potential and intelligence of Children in a certain class.
    Standardized testing makes it easier for Schools to
    understand the intelligence and educational levels of a
    Student.

    2) Standardized testing helps in a fair comparison of Children in


    a Class. There is a possibility that giving different tests to
    different children could lead to develop a sense of disunity
    among the Children. This is very disadvantageous as
    developing of Disunity at such a young age results in the child
    Developing such feelings for others during his/her adulthood.

    3 ) They
    Help You Identify Areas For
    Improvement
    Standardized testing brings light to areas of the curriculum that are
    lacking, and can be used to formulate education plans for
    improvement in those areas. For example, if standardized tests
    within a school showed that the average test results in math were
    below grade level, this is helpful for that school to know they need
    to improve their math curriculum and teaching.
