Abstract: Describes the basic concepts of standardized tests, criterion and norm
referenced tests. It also outlines the types, uses and the criticism of the standar-
dized tests.

cognitive skills as well a quality of a school, district or even a country’s education
system. It is important as a teacher to understand what learner’s can do and can
not do.
