Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #1226 Standardized test
Instructions
A  standardized  test  is  any  test  that  is    and  scored  in  a  consistent  manner  to  ensure  legal  defensibility.  Standardized  tests  are  often  used  in  education,  professional  certification,  psychology,  the  military,  and  many  other  fields.
A  non-standardized  test  is  usually  flexible  in  scope  and  format,  variable  in  difficulty  and  significance.  Since  these  tests  are  usually    by  individual  instructors,  the  format  and  difficulty  of  these  tests  may  not  be  widely  adopted  or  used  by  other  instructors  or  institutions.  A  non-standardized  test  may  be  used  to  determine  the    level  of  students,  to  motivate  students  to  study,  and  to  provide  feedback  to  students.  In  some  instances,  a  teacher  may  develop  non-standardized  tests  that  resemble  standardized  tests  in  scope,  format,  and  difficulty  for  the  purpose  of  preparing  their  students  for  an  upcoming  standardized  test.  Finally,  the  frequency  and  setting  by  which  non-standardized  tests  are  administered  are  highly  variable  and  are  usually  constrained  by  the  duration  of  the  class  period.  A  class  instructor  may  for  example,  administer  a  test  on  a  weekly  basis  or  just  twice  a  semester.  Depending  on  the  policy  of  the  instructor  or  institution,  the  duration  of  each  test  itself  may  last  for  only  five  minutes  to  an  entire  class  period.
In  contrasts  to  non-standardized  tests,  standardized  tests  are  widely  used,  fixed  in  terms  of  scope,  difficulty  and  format,  and  are  usually  significant  in  .  Standardized  tests  are  usually  held  on  fixed  dates  as  determined  by  the  test  developer,  educational  institution,  or  governing  body,  which  may  or  may  not  be  administered  by  the  instructor,  held  within  the  classroom,  or    by  the  classroom  period.  Although  there  is  little  variability  between  different  copies  of  the  same  type  of  standardized  test,  there  is  variability  between  different  types  of  standardized  tests.
