If these' measuies are not properly inter preted to the individual by school personnel and parents, the value of such testing can be diminished. Major Points Listed Generally then, the value of standardized testing in the Nyssa schools can be summarized in five major points. 1. Organizing of instructional groups and providing a differen tiated curriculum for pupils of varying abilities. 2. Furnishing predictive data for guidance in the programming of students. 3. Determining whether pupils are reaching or exceeding the ex- nected level of achievement. LEAN 4. Guiding students toward se lection of future work on the ba sis of objective predictive data. 5.
