What is Standardized Testing?
We use standardized testing to maximize fairness and provide meaningful comparisons.
What is the purpose of CEPA?
#1• Identify students’ levels• Place students in appropriate
programs• Place students in appropriate levels
#2• Track the progress of the nation
What can go wrong?
A student’s score could go missing.• Lost or damaged answer sheet• Computer failure
A student could receive the wrong score.• Poor exam conditions• Cheating• Wrong ID number• Wrong Version
How does this affect the student?
Missing Score• Repeat the test= Added stress, wasted
time
Wrong Score• Wrong Level• Too low= Wasted time• Too high= Frustration, failure, inability
to understand post-foundation classes, drop-out
How does this affect the rest of us?
Institutions• Retests require more work• Classes are mixed ability• Inaccurately placed students drop out
The Nation• Inaccurate data about the state of education• Wasted money on students who cannot
succeed• Citizens become frustrated with the higher
education process
