Your child can develop this ability. And you can help the child do it. This leaflet tells you how. It's helpful for a child to understand why schools give tests. And to know the different kinds of tests.
Tests are yardsticks.
Schools use them to measure, and then improve education. Some tell schools that they need to strengthen courses or change teaching techniques. Other tests compare students by schools, school districts, or cities. And that's very important. That is, teachers design them.
