Where did Standardized assesments come from?
Standardized testing originated in China, during the Han Dynasty. They would test over music, archery, horsemanship, arithmetic, writing, and rituals. These were also know as the Six Arts.
Standardized assessments started in the U.S. in the 1840s, requiring written tests, instead of oral exams. In the 1900s they started requiring students to take entry exams before attending college.
In 1965 they started testing in public schools.
