This is a list of primary and secondary school tests. Tests available at the end of secondary school, like Regents Examinations in New York, California High School Exit Exam, GED across North America, GCE A-Level in the UK, might lead to a school-leaving certificate. However, other tests like SAT and ACT do not play such roles.
The test itself will contain a set amount of questions, and will have different resources provided within the test, depending on the subject. In an English standardized test, there will usually be multiple passages, and a few open response questions. There is also an answer eliminator for multiple-choice questions.
As a result of NCLB, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have created state standardized tests for all children that are mandatory for graduation from high school. These tests are known as "high-stakes testing" in which schools, administrators, and teachers all become accountable for the test scores of their students.
Therefore, those tests initially focused on secondary–school–leaving, e.g., GCE A–Levels in the UK, or French Baccalaureate, are not listed here, although they function as the de facto admission tests in those countries (see list of secondary school leaving certificates).
