Standardized tests assess general knowledge to be successful.

Middle Township - Standardized tests assess general knowledge to be successful. Can you glean the main idea from a paragraph? Can you tell fact from fiction, follow a direction or figure out what time the bus you need stops on Mechanic Street? Can you subtract from a bank balance or figure the measurements to double a recipe? Tests tell teachers and school systems where they need to work collectively and individually so graduates can be fully functioning members of society. Learning to take a test is also imperative as almost every occupation tests. Insist on creative teaching to impart necessary concepts.
