3Read the passage and answer:
Standardised testing is often defended as an impartial measure because every candidate answers the same questions under the same conditions. Yet identical conditions do not guarantee equal opportunity: candidates differ in access to preparation, familiarity with test formats and even the language in which questions are framed. A test may thus be perfectly consistent in measuring something while measuring something other than what its designers intend. Reliability, in other words, is no proof of validity; and a score that is stable from one sitting to the next may simply be a stable record of advantage.

Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?

  1. Language of framing can matter
  2. Equal conditions do not ensure equal opportunity
  3. A stable score may record advantage
  4. Standardised tests ought to be abolished
Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. Standardised tests ought to be abolished

The author criticises a defence of testing but never calls for abolition.
