Assessment Methods & Selection
Standardization of Administration
Making sure every candidate receives the same instructions, time limits, and testing conditions so scores reflect ability, not differences in how the test was given.
"If one person gets extra time or clearer instructions, their score might reflect the advantage, not their skill."
Standardization of administration is the practice of delivering assessments under consistent, pre-defined procedures (instructions, timing, environment, proctoring) for all candidates to reduce measurement error and bias.
