Standardized procedures are important to ensure that the results of the test are valid and reliable. It allows for consistency in administration and reduces the potential for errors and bias.

Standardized procedures reduce confusion during the test administration process. This is particularly important for standardized tests where even minor deviations in administration can affect the results.
