 What is Standardized test in education?
It is a method of assessment built where all test takers are required to answer the same questions
and all answers are graded in the same, predetermined way.
 What is the purpose of a standardized test?
It has different purpose according to the types, but the general-purpose it’s to determine the level
of knowledge in some topic or language and give a comparison in big groups.

What are the norms for standardized tests?
Standards for standardized tests vary by type. When it is a psychological test, the person in
charge is the only one who can read or know the results, in knowledge tests come with rules to
be able to perform the test and even to read the results.
Each test has a percentage or a level at which you know whether you have a good score or not.
Step 3. Reflection
Based on your experience reflect with your group in the forum on the following questions:
 Explain some strategies you will use to help the students to improve their English level.
According to my experience as an English learner, one strategy and I think sometimes is the best,
watch series or movies in English and with English subtitles because you can look at the word,
know its writes and the pronunciation. The same can do with music; you can find on youtube the
songs with lyrics and can practice and improve the level.
Another one is to practice with some equals classmates and talk in English, do some feedback
and every time you have the chance talk in English, don’t be afraid of speak because making
mistakes and do it the correction you learn more.
Sometimes you can practice like half of the hour, finding more vocabulary, practice some rules
or slang, finding apps that require only the English language and you can practice.
 What steps are necessary to develop an evaluation?
1. Select the topic and the time.
2. Share with the students the topics and times to use.
3. Give them confidence
 What are the best times to apply an evaluation?
Every time you need it, the evaluation is not always something that you have to choose a day or
time. It can be periodic or constant

 What types of evaluation do you know? What are the most recommendable for you?
Diagnostic evaluation: It is used when you need to know the skills, abilities, knowledge of the
students before or starting the course.
Self-evaluation: When the student evaluates his/her own learning process.
Summative evaluation: It is used at the end of the course, it is a way to know if they improve
skills, or really learn.
Mid-term evaluation: It is used in some intervals or by periods. Sometimes it evaluates some
goals.
 What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?
Formative assessment Summative assessment
