Answer to Question 1

Achievement tests measure how much of a particular subject or skill has been learned by the examinees.

Answer to Question 2

Young children experience rapid developmental changes during preschool and kindergarten that cause many of them to score very differently on a test when they retake it six months later. Therefore, standardized test scores for young children have low reliability and are not an appropriate basis for making educational decisions.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
