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.

4. Guiding students toward se
lection of future work on the ba
sis of objective predictive data.
5. Supplementing teachers’
judgments through an impartial
and objective method of evaluat
