Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If a test is standardized, that means that: a person’s test performance can be compared with that of a representative pretested group. About percent of WAIS scores fall between 85 and 115.
Detailed explanation-3: -Standardization refers to the process of: defining meaningful scores relative to a representative pretested group. Those who score above average on tests of mathematical aptitude are also likely to score above average on tests of verbal aptitude.
Detailed explanation-4: -Standardization establishes a basis for meaningful score comparisons by giving a test to a representative sample of future test-takes. Reliability is the extent to which a test yields consistent results. Validity is the extent to which a test measures or predicts what is supposed to do.
