Answer to Question 1

Agree

Answer to Question 2

Perhaps the best use of published tests results is in instructional planning. Knowing how students did in a class, school, or school system can help educators make instructional modifications for the future. A second good use of test results is in reporting the results to parents in conferences. This information helps reinforce the teacher's message about the student reaching his or her learning goals. Finally, test results can be helpful in diagnosing or qualifying children for special education services or in identification of a learning disability. However, no published test should be used alone to accomplish any of these goals. In appropriate uses of published tests include using test results to give a student grades for a semester or marking period, using tests to evaluate teaching effectiveness, or assigning students to a remedial track or retaining them in a grade for the following academic year.
