our school system is different also but here´s what I think about the matter... just like when going to a new school they "test" you to evaulate how are you and if you fit properly to their program or how advanced are you...IMO

1. What are standardized tests? they are used to see how much you know and if you are at the same level as other people in the same grade.


2. Why do schools use standardized tests? to evaulate the learning among students and see if they all are ont he same note


3. How do schools use the tests? I think just like regular tests, but here the evaluate the overall you


4. Will standardized tests be used to determine my child’s placement in the classroom? Maybe, if a kid is slow learned he might get more help or if he´s a fast learner techers should be able to suffice his needs in other for him/her to not get bored in class

5. What kinds of tests will my child be taking?
 No clue... general knowledge?... science, math, biology, history...


6. How will the scores be reported?
 No idea...


7. How will my child’s test score be used?
 to his/her favor... to see and evaluate his/her progress...


8. How can I help my child do well on tests?
 studying


9. Does the test score reflect how my child does in the classroom?
 In a way.... but tests can be tricky.... some people get way too nervous at tests and do bad while at class they are brilliant...


10. What happens if my child doesn’t do well on the tests? Not really sure, but if the test affects his/her place in school or where he/she will be going that might be an issue, if they are just to evaluate as an intern program he/she might just need to get more studying time in order to keep up
