Proponents of standardized testing argue that it provides a consistent and objective way to measure students' academic abilities and progress, helps identify areas where students need improvement, and provides data that can be used to improve education policies and practices. On the other hand, critics argue that standardized tests can be biased, create unnecessary stress for students and teachers, narrow the curriculum, and encourage teaching to the test rather than fostering critical thinking and creativity. Some also argue that standardized tests do not adequately measure important skills and qualities, such as creativity, problem-solving, and social and emotional intelligence
