Standardized Tests

Tests that are administered under controlled conditions are called standardized tests. They are used to measure IQ, determine how much a child has learned, and in a number of other ways. Whether your question is about standardized tests in general or a specific test, you can ask it here!

605 Questions

Can you take the SAT test at a local center?

The SAT exam is generally given seven times per year, once each in October, November, December, January, March, May, and June. Scores are delivered via the web about 3 weeks later and by mail about a week after that. The test is given in many locations that are determined by high schools. To find out the nearest location and test date near you, contact your high school advisor.

What do you mean by real education is both attitudinal and mental change?

The saying goes, "10% aptitude, 90% attitude." In other words, if you have a passion for the field you will do it successfully regardless of what it takes. Yes there is coursework that is challenging, however a good positive attitude is everything.

What is a State Test?

Since the passage of the federal No Child Left Behind Act in 2002, every state now has specific testing guidelines and standards in core subjects to follow with the law. The No Child Left Behind Act is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education.

Why are some calculators prohibited on the ACT?

Many teachers and ACT authors have experienced students who use calculators, like the scientific calculators, can gain an advantage over them. According to the department of education, the ACT test is designed for students to mentally think and develop plans to solve a question instead of using the calculator like a cheating machine.

What is an reactance?

it is a internal resistance of the devices like as capacitor and inductor

Comment

As 'resistance' has a very specific meaning, I suggest that the above answer should read: 'It is the opposition of devices like capacitors and inductors (to the flow of current).'

How do you write 62 as a fraction in lowest terms?

To work out fractions in it's lowest terms you divide both numerator and denominator by 2(only if you can cancel down, because some fractions can't be written in lowest terms for example:7/11)

Example: 12/24 =(12/2)=6 and (24/2)=12 so you get 6/12 but you can still cancel it down because 6 and 12 are both in 2 times table

so, again you cancel it down (6/2=3) and (12/2=6)now you get 3/6

now your final answer is 3/6 (you can't cancel this down because 3 is not in 2 times table but 6 is but however if only the numerator and denominator were divisible by 2 only you can do it.

so, here 3/6 is the lowest term

Is 176 an ok score for the PSAT if I did not study at all?

A PSAT score of 176 places you in about the top 25% of PSAT test takers. According to the website of the College Board, for 2009 the average score of PSAT test takers was 141. A PSAT score can be multiplied by ten to get the rough equivalent of what a student is likely to make on the SAT unless he engages in serious SAT preparation efforts. If an SAT score of 1760 is likely to be sufficient to allow you to gain admission to the colleges that you want to attend, then 176 is an "ok" score on the PSAT. If you would like to make a higher SAT score than 1760, then you should go to the website of the College Board an register for their online course about how to improve your SAT score. You should be aware that a few random hours of study is unlikely to impact your SAT score. You may need to spend five hours or so per week for many months taking practice SATs and studying SAT preparation materials in order to improve your SAT score. But it can be done! Good luck!

What is negative self talk?

Having a personal dialogue that goes "I can't do that", "I will never be a good x", "no-one in my familly ever could y". Negative thinking can affect people's emotional well being and sucess, changing negative thinking is one of the steps in CBT.

What are the minimum words in sat essay writing?

There is no minimum! Both short and long essays can get top scores, it does not affect the scoring.

How do you pass a NEC test?

National Electrical Code provides safety from hazards of electricity. NEC provides exam trainings, hold seminars, in addition to that audio and video cassettes are also available for help.

You are worried about an exam?

Some students do worry about exams at this time of year just before they start. I would say as long as you have done the best you can in your course work then that's what matters. An exam is just a way of you putting that knowledge down on a piece of paper to be marked. It can be nerve wracking at first but don't worry because once you start to read the questions it will all start coming back to you. Exams are carried out under strict rules but it should not feel intimidating. Just remember to bring your writing equipment with you including a black ink pen. You should not bring your mobile, ipod, mp3 or any other instrument capable of recording into the exam room. You can't talk to friends once you enter but if you need to ask a question put your hand up and an invigilator will attend to you. The time allowed and any information about the exam will be explained before you start. If you are worried because you have not done all your work for whatever reason, then you should still try and answer the best you can. If you get stuck on one question then don't panic but just go on to the next one, you can always go back to it if you have time. If you don't understand the question at first then try reading it again, slower. Sometimes if you skip it and go to the next one it can prompt your memory on the one you skipped, so you can go back and answer it also. Whatever happens don't worry. It is only an exam. You can always do it again another time. If you don't get the grade you want or need for a university or job reason, it is not the end of the world ! You may just need to change your options or outlook to something a bit different. You may not have liked what you planned to do once you had started anyway. Many people realize this after all their hard work getting where they wanted then change their minds and do something completely out of character. Just do your best and sort out what you can do with what grades you got later.

What is a vocational adjustment index Practical Nursing?

If you are talking about the VAI on exams, it is in relation to how you feel. To see if the chosen profession is right for you. You can answer honestly or tell them what they want to hear, but why waste your time and lie. You will just be miserable with your job.

What is the procedure and formula of core cutting test of concrete and bituminous?

(hope this help)

75mm, 100mm or 150mm diameter cores are taken on site using state of the art core cutting machines. Cover meter is used to locate the reinforcement steel before core cutting. This prevents structural damage to the RCC member by avoiding the reinforcement. These cores are dressed in our lab and tested using standard compression testing methods to determine compressive strength and arrive at equivalent cube strength of concrete.

IS Codes applicable: IS : 456 / IS : 516 / IS : 1199

Applications:

Assessment of strength.

Study of aggregates used in the mix design.

Assessing probable causes of failures/problems.

Equipment Used:

Core cutter.

Core compression testing machine.

Test basis:

A core sample is the actual representation of the material used in the structural element. When processed and subjected to load, it fails at a particular load, giving a fair idea of its compressive strength.

Methodology:

Step1: Reinforcement Mapping.

By using a special instrument, based on eddy currents, the reinforcements are mapped in the structural member.

Step 2: Core cutting.

Cores are taken using special diamond cutters of 75 mm, 100 mm or 150 mm diameter. Locations are selected to avoid steel so as to minimize the damage to the structure.

Step 3: Dressing.

The edges of the core are smoothend using grinding and cutting wheels and epoxy mortar is applied on both sides for capping. This ensures that the ends are approximately at 90% to the axis and are within 0.05 mm plane ness.

Step 4: Immersion in water

The core samples are immersed in water for 48 hours. The cores are weighed before and

after immersion.

Step 5: Compression testing.

The cores are then subjected to compression forces on compression testing machine. The breaking point is observed.

Step 6: Reporting.

Based on the lab report, sizes of the core etc. an equivalent cube strength is calculated for the concrete applying necessary correction factors. The density, core strength and equivalent cube strength are reported.

Influencing factors:

Core diameter and length (h / d ratio)

Proper capping and hydration of the cores as per IS code.

Old/new/Mixed (jacketed) concrete.

Understanding results:

The result is normalized for comparison with compressive test results of a standard cube. This is done so that the cube results can be compared with the core results. Standard correction factors as per IS code are used for this purpose. This value may not be the same as the core strength.

Following are the factors which affect the compressive strength of extracted concrete cores:

Size of stone aggregate: If the ratio of diameter of core to maximum size of stone aggregate is less than 3, a reduction in strength is reported. For concrete with 20mm size aggregate, 50mm dia core has been tested to give 10% lower results than with 10mm dia cores.

Presence of transverse reinforcement steel: It is reported that the presence of transverse steel causes a 5 to 15% reduction in compressive strength of core. The effect of embedded steel is higher on stronger concrete and as its location moves away from ends, i.e. towards the middle. However presence of steel parallel to the axis of the core is not desirable.

H/D ratio: This has been already discussed above. However its value should be minimum 0.95 and maximum 2. Higher ratio would cause a reduction in strength.

Age of concrete: No age allowance is recommended by the Concrete Society as some evidence is reported to suggest that in-situ concrete gains little strength after 28 days. Whereas others suggest that under average conditions, the increase over 28 days' strength is 10% after 3 months, 15% after 6 months. Hence it is not easy to deal the effect of age on core strength.

Strength of concrete: The effect in reducing the core strength appears to be higher in stronger concretes and reduction has been reported as 15% for 40 MPa concrete. However a reduction of 5 50 7% is considered reasonable.

Drilling operations: The strength of cores is generally less than that of standard cylinders, partly as a consequence of disturbance due to vibrations during drilling operations. Whatever best precautions are taken during drilling, there is always a risk of slight damage.

Site conditions vis-a-vis standard specimens: Because site curing is invariably inferior to curing prescribed for standard specimens, the in-situ core strength is invariably lower than the standard specimens taken and tested during concreting operations.
