Tough question! Standardized tests are good for measuring a student's overall knowledge base I think, but it really depends on what the test goals are, too - which is just as important. For example, a student might remember 1000 vocabulary words about daily activities, but they don't have the ability to ask for directions. If the standardized tests do not account for this, it could be misleading.
