Summary	The content of tests can be puzzling to students and teachers alike. While a state test purports to measure the curriculum, often the curriculum standards seem mysterious as well and mdash;written in code or so general in meaning that it seems impossible for teachers to know if their instruction will adequately prepare their students .€ and mdash;Charles Fuhrken € When he was a student struggling to concentrate on dreadfully boring passages of standardized reading tests, Charles Fuhrken remembers thinking to himself, and ldquo;Who writes this stuff?€He had no idea that one day it would be.
