Educational measurement and evaluation is an important part of modern education. It can not only help educators understand students' learning situation, but also provide scientific basis for educational decision-making. Educational measurement and evaluation have a far-reaching impact on life. This paper will discuss its significance to life from different angles.

Educational measurement and evaluation can help individuals understand their strengths and weaknesses. Through measurement and evaluation, you can know your level in various disciplines or skills, so as to find your strengths and weaknesses.

This is very important for personal career planning and development. For example, if a student is good at mathematics but weak in Chinese, he can choose a major or occupation related to mathematics, strengthen Chinese learning and improve his overall quality.

Educational measurement and evaluation can help educational institutions understand the teaching effect. Through the measurement and evaluation of students, educational institutions can know how their teaching effect is, so as to improve and optimize teaching. For example, if a school analyzes students' test and examination results and finds that their math scores are generally low, then the school can improve math teaching methods and improve students' learning effect.

Education measurement and evaluation can help the society understand the current situation of education development. Through the measurement and evaluation of students, the society can understand the present situation and trend of education development. For example, society can know the popularity and quality of English education by measuring and evaluating students' English level, and make relevant policies and adjustments accordingly.

Educational measurement and evaluation can also promote students' self-reflection and development. In the process of educational measurement and evaluation, students not only accept tests and examinations, but more importantly, through analyzing and reflecting on their own learning situation, they find their own shortcomings and improve them. This process of self-reflection and development is very important for students' growth and development.

For example, if students get a low score in the math exam, they can find their own weak links by analyzing the reasons for their mistakes and improve them, so as to improve their math level.
