- Standardized tests are perceived as being "fairer" than non-standardized tests and more conducive to comparison of outcomes across all test takers.

- Intelligence tests and standardized tests face criticism for their uses and applications in society.
- They also cast doubt on the validity of IQ tests and whether IQ tests actually measure what they claim to measure—intelligence.
- Critics of standardized tests also point to problems associated with using the SAT and ACT exams to predict college success.
- According to recent research, the SAT and ACT have been found to be poor predictors of college success.
- Students take the SAT and/or ACT exam in order to gain admittance to college.

- The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is a United States Act of Congress that is a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which included Title I, the government's flagship aid program for disadvantaged students.
- The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills.
- The standards in the act are set by each individual state.
- Schools receiving Title I funding through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 must make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in test scores (each year, its fifth graders must do better on standardized tests than the previous year's fifth graders).
- This is colloquially referred to as "teaching to the test. "
-

- Letting "test" represent a parallel form of the test, the symbol rtest,test is used to denote the reliability of the test.
- It can be shown that the reliability of a test, rtest,test, is the ratio of true-score variance to test-score variance.
- where smeasurement is the standard error of measurement, stest is the standard deviation of the test scores, and rtest,test is the reliability of the test.
- The validity of a test refers to whether the test measures what it is supposed to measure.
- A correlation above the upper limit set by reliabilities can act as a red flag.
-
- They are also used in drug tests.
- Although the term blood test is used, most routine tests (except for most hematology) are done on blood plasma instead of blood cells.
- Since blood flows throughout the body, acting as a medium for providing oxygen and nutrients and drawing waste products back to the excretory systems for disposal, the state of the bloodstream affects, or is affected by, many medical conditions.
