A
norm- referenced test is a test that determines a student’s placement on a
normal curve. This is known as being graded with a curve. An example of a
norm-referenced test would be the SAT’s that you take in middle school and in
high school. These types of testing can also be used for representing an age
group that; is used for diagnosis and or placement. A criterion-referenced test
will determine how a child has learned a specific skill. An example of a
criterion-referenced test is the multiple choice test like you take when you are
getting your license. I took a criterion-referenced test when I got my license.
I also took a norm-referenced when I took my SAT’s in high school. I think that
the criterion-referenced test helped me to know more about driving and the ways
to be safe while driving. When I took the norm-referenced test when I took my
SAT’s did not support my learning to help me learn anything. It just told me how
much I knew in each subject with a percentage of how good I did verse the total
of students that took the same test. I think that it would support my learning
if I did badly and then the teacher gave me work to understand that subject more
and also do better the next time I take the test.
