Applications of Ability and Standardized Testing

here is assignment attached that i need help with.

thank you

Applications of Ability and Standardized Testing As discussed in Chapter 12 of the textbook, standardized ability tests "are available for just about  any purpose. There appears to be no end to the construction of this type of test. Relative ease in  scoring and administration gives group ability tests a major advantage over similar individual tests"  (Kaplan & Saccuzzo, 2013, p. 339).  In addition, the ability to compare the scores of one test-taker  (or group of test-takers) with that of another mean that standardized tests are becoming more and  more popular as a means of gauging achievement progress of a target group. Due to the ease of administration/scoring and the ability to compare results, standardized tests (such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, or LSAT) are often used to determine admission to institutions of  higher education or as a criteria for scholarship selection. Proponents of standardized testing believe that these forms of tests are essential in providing a basis for comparison across applicants and a  standard by which all must meet. On the other hand, there are many researchers who argue that  standardized tests are culturally biased, unfair and should not utilized for any type of high-stakes  decision.

Select, explore, and analyze : To take a firsthand look at this issue, you will  complete a minimum of 10 questions from a standardized test found online. You may  complete the entire test if you like, but it is not required.  (On that note, keep in mind that the  more questions you complete the more thorough your experience with the instrument will  be.)  You can find online practices resources for popular standardized tests at  Test Prep  Review . The links to specific sample test are listed in the left-hand menu of the website.  As  you complete the 10 items, think about the types of items presented, the purpose of the test, and any "hidden" components necessary to succeed on the measure. 2. Post a brief analysis  of the measurement you completed. Reflecting on your  experience, answer the following questions: 1. Which test did you take? 2. In your opinion, what is the value of a standardized test? 3. Is this standardized test a fair measure of your ability? Explain.
