ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1, you received a brief intro-
duction to standardized testing. Recall
that a standardized test is defined as an assessment that is administered, scored, and
interpreted in identical fashion for all ex-
they were assessed. Regardless of whether
students are being tested in Maine, Ohio,
Oklahoma, or California, they are read the
same instructions, respond to the same (or
very similar) test questions, and have the
same amount of time to complete the test.
