Is it important to complete the same achievement test at the same time of year in determining a childs educational progress?
Yes. Using the same test is important so that you are comparing apples to apples. Different tests assess different concepts in different ways. Using the same test insures the validity of the standardized tests and the groups which have been used in “norming” the tests. Using a standardized time elapse between tests insures the amount of growth can be compared within a set time frame.
