Standardized Testing And Ip Clocks

There are few people who look forward to standardized testing

, and yet it is something that almost every student must sit through at some point in his or her academic career. Standardized testing days can be stressful for both students and administrators alike. Theyll commonly feel the pressure associated with scoring well on standardized tests, for reasons such as college admission, scholarships, or placement opportunities. Meanwhile, administrators feel the demand not only for successful scores amongst students, but also for a standardized testing day that operates smoothly and efficiently.

One of the main concerns that a school has on any given day, but which is particularly applicable on a testing day, is the need for accurate and synchronized clocks in every room in the building. Students arriving to their designated classrooms late due to a discrepancy in clocks throughout the building are a disruption and can delay testing procedures. If the entire school is taking the same test at the same time, it is even more important to have synchronized clocks. With accurate clocks in each classroom, all students will be starting, ending, and taking breaks at the same time, assuring that not one student is receiving more or less time than another.

In addition to accuracy and synchronization, IP School Clocks have other features that come in handy on testing days. One such feature is the digital clock countdown capability. Through the IP web interface software, administrators can set digital clocks to count down the time remaining left in the test via computer software, rather than display the actual time. This is often more convenient, as it allows students to see how much time they have left at a glance, allowing them to concentrate on their test and properly manage their time.

Often, there are many occasions in which different groups of students need to sit for standardized testing at different times. For example, PSATs may only need to be taken by the 10th graders, while only one classroom of students may need to sit for an Advanced Placement test. In the mean time, the rest of the student body must go about their normal school day. With the web interface feature, you can set your IP Clocks individually, meaning that you can keep a countdown in one classroom of test takers, while displaying the normal time to every other room in the building. Because of this feature, the entire school can stay on track, and testing will never throw the day off schedule.

Standardized testing is already stressful enough without the confusion and disorganization associated with inaccurate school clocks. No student wants to be unsure of how much time they have left to complete a section, or to be stopped early before they have had adequate time to finish. Furthermore, no teacher wants stressed-out students running into the classroom mid-test. The day will go much more smoothly for everyone involved with the use of an IP School Clock system. Perhaps most importantly, the clocks will help to maintain a sense of fairness and accuracy in the testing procedure, assuring that each student has the opportunity to perform at his or her best.
