Standardized Testing
A standardized test is an examination given and scored in a “standard” or predetermined manner meaning that all questions are the same, all test-takers are given the same amount of time to take the exam, and the way the test is scored is consistent among all test-takers.

Standardized testing in the United States is common. Students usually are introduced to standardized testing in elementary or primary school where they begin taking standardized tests. Students who wish to pursue a higher education will then take the SAT or ACT for college admission. Additionally, if students wish to apply for graduate school, they will likely have to take additional standardized tests such as the LSAT or GRE.
