Norm-referenced assessment

Okay kiddo, imagine you and your classmates in school took a very important test. Now, if we put all of your scores together and look at them as a group, that's called a norm-referenced assessment.

It's like having a big group of friends and seeing who ran the fastest or jumped the highest. We can compare how well you and your friends did on the test and see who did better and who needs some more help.

This kind of assessment is important because it helps teachers and parents understand how well you are doing compared to other students your age, and helps create goals for you to improve your skills. It's like a big game where everyone is trying to do their best, and we can see how everyone stacks up against each other.
