Detailed explanation-1: -A standardization sample is a population of individuals who have previously well-documented intelligence and/or achievement levels that are used to “standardize” new or revised test instruments to assure that they are reliably measuring what they are intended to measure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Technically, ‘standardisation’ is the process used in psychometric test development to create norms so that the performance of students of different ages can be represented by means of scores that are independent of age.
Detailed explanation-3: -A test is standardized when all the students taking the test have to respond to the same set of carefully selected questions. This allows people who look at the results to make comparisons among groups of students.
Detailed explanation-4: -A norm referenced test uses a normative or standardization sample from the general population to determine what is “typical” or “normal” in that population. Test designers choose a population they feel represents the target population to be evaluated using the test.
