Standardized testing is a type of exam given in the same way to all students to measure their knowledge and skills. Everyone answers the same questions under similar conditions. It helps compare student performance across schools or regions, but may not reflect all learning styles or individual strengths.

Standardized testing refers to assessments where all test-takers answer the same questions under the same conditions, and their responses are scored in a consistent manner. This ensures a uniform benchmark for evaluating performance and facilitates comparisons across different groups or individuals.

Standardized testing is a way to assess students by giving them the same test under the same conditions. Everyone answers the same questions, usually multiple choice, so results can be compared across schools, districts, or even countries. These tests help measure learning, track progress, and sometimes decide things like school funding or student placement.
