Chinese officials used them to determine aptitude for various government posts.

중국 정부는 정부의 여러 부서에 대한 소질을 판단하기 위해 그것들을 사용했다.
여기서 post는 '직업'(=job)의 의미로 사용됐습니다. 농구에서 post라고 하면, 자리를 잡고 몸 싸움을 하는 걸 말하고, 우체통은 영어로 postbox입니다.
무언가를 '세우는 이미지'를 주지만, 주로 정부의 정책이나 행보와 관련돼서 많이 쓰인다고 합니다.

 

Similarly, the diplomat might be measured against other test-taking diplomats, or against a set of fixed criteria, which demonstrate different levels of language proficiency.

비슷하게, 외교관은 다른 외교관 시험에 응시하는 사람들에 의해 혹은 다른 언어 숙달 능력을 보여주는 고정된 기준에 의해 평가될지도 모른다.
여기서 demonstrate가 '보여주다'라는 뜻으로 사용된 게 재밌었습니다. 자기 생각이나 마음을 보여주는 뉘앙스라고 합니다. demonstrate에 '시위하다'의 뜻도 있는 게, 시위를 한다는 것은 자신이 무엇을 생각하는지를 강력하게 '보여주는' 행위이기 때문입니다.

Students with reading challenges may struggle with the wording of a math problem, so their test results may better reflect their literacy rather than numeracy skills.

난독증이 있는 학생들은 아마도 수학 시험의 단어에서 어려움을 겪을 수도 있기 때문에, 그들의 시험 결과는 아마도 산술 능력보다는 그들의 읽기 능력을 더 반영할 수도 있다.
여기서 challenge는 '도전하다'의 뜻으로 보통 우리가 많이 아는 뜻입니다. 그런데 challenge는 대채로 '불가능한 것에 도전하다'라는 뉘앙스가 있다고 합니다.

We watched video about standardized test. It was so interesting to me. Because, there is a story was called “과거제도”. The exam is way of action about classical scholar’s dream. They wrote their ideal from contact with real world. Therefore, they was assessed in the exam, at the same time, they could checked their thinking. It’s very important the both aspect of “과거제도”. But, now, people pay attention to his value such as achademic background, work experience. When we approach exam, we have not any our vision, not only pass the exam, we will be swayed by their assessment.

 

I' ll memorize this part

Although standardized tests are sometimes controversial, they're simply a tool. As a thought experiment, think of a standardized test as a ruler. A ruler's usefulness depends on two things. First, the job we ask it to do. Our ruler can't measure the temperature outside or how loud someone is singing. Second, the ruler's usefulness depends on its design. Say you need to measure the circumference of an orange. Our ruler measures length, which is the right quantity, but it hasn't been designed with the flexibility required for the task at hand. So, if standardized tests are given the wrong job, or aren't designed properly, they may end up measuring the wrong things.

    We watched a video about standardized testing. It was very interesting to me, because it talked about a story about "과거제도". An examination is a way of realizing the dream to be a classical scholar. They wrote about how to make their ideals into reality. In this way they could examine their thinking as well as being assessed by government officials. The two aspects were very important in 과거제도. Now, however, people focus on their own value as a 'product', such as how good their academic backgrounds and work experiences are. When we only try to pass the exam without a broader vision, we will be obsessed with the result too much.
