[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the value of the test is to the institution itself, to measure how various schools are doing relative to each other. There is no direct benefit to the student at all, only an indirect benefit in having some sort of quantitative assessment of the whole student population. [/quote] It depends on how the school uses it. If they see that a significant number of students in a particular grade are struggling with reading comprehension or fractions, they can adjust the next year's instruction accordingly. That's happened at my child's school. [/quote]
