Abstract:
This study examined the parents' perception of the seventh graders' standardized
tests. The primary purpose of this study is to explore parents' opinions on these tests and how
they might affect their children's academic performance; it also looks at how parents view the
importance of the tests. This study uses a mixed method design; quantitative or numerical data
offer a measurable result, but qualitative or descriptive data offers a more profound
comprehension of respondents' perspectives. A purposive reduced random sampling technique
selected 54 respondents from the 7th-grader population of 360 students. The study also ensured
that the students' identities would remain private and that they would be told how their
information would be kept safe. Findings that indicate how parents feel about seventh-grade
standardized achievement exams were the aim of this study, focusing on the value, fairness, and
impact of these tests on their children's academic performance. This study highlights the
standardized testing that can be made more practical and less stressful for students and teachers
while improving communication and support of parents. It also emphasized that standardized
tests are one way to measure children's progress, and parents should be involved in the process.
Moreover, how to improve communication with parents and reduce stress around testing for
both teachers and students. It suggested that these tests should be regularly reviewed to ensure
they are fair and accurately measure students' abilities.
